the process of treating an animal with medicine to eliminate parasitic worms from its body.
Gerund form of deworm, becoming the standard noun in veterinary practice. This term emphasizes the routine, ongoing nature of parasite control in animal husbandry and pet care.
Deworming schedules for puppies follow a precise pattern—usually starting at 2-3 weeks old and repeating every 2 weeks because worm life cycles mean you have to catch them at vulnerable stages, like a strategic military campaign against microscopic invaders!
