The bitch should be wormed at the 2 week intervals when the pups are being done.
So from when pups are 2 weeks, every 2 weeks. There are wormers that are made for nursing bitches and pups, but best ask the vet for names. They need to be given based on weight to each individual pup and the bitch.

Theres a link, think parazole can be used too, along with couple of others, you can get a tiny syringe with ml measurements for dosing the pups.
