Default Worming

So I took Norris' pop sample to the vets and it turns out he has worms. So they suggested tubing him to gove him the wormer. So I took him to the vets and he refused to open his mouth, so in the end after about 15minutes maybe longer, she gave me the wormer in the syringe to try with at home. So I got him home and managed to get the whole treatment down him in less than 5minutes. What are the next steps now? Should I bath him regularly to help flush them through? Thanks in advance x

Hi Laura. Depends which medicine was used but generally they have more than one dose. Your vet should tell you.
