[QUOTE="Mamaof5, post: 388848"] Hookworm can cause intestinal bleeding and dehydration. Sometimes pups end up with both roundworm and hookworm as a co-morbid infection (parasitic). I'm hoping your vet is wrong and it's a bad infestation of hookworm - do be careful, both parasites are zoonotic (cross species to humans). Bad intestinal parasite infections can cause resp issues, especially if it's a big infestation. You have to tell the rescue shelter you got the little guy from so that they can re-screen the other dogs too, just in case. Parasite infection is extremely contagious too though older dogs build good immunity to it they can still be infected and so can humans. I have one phrase for you - FOOD GRADE D.E. It is silica salt, ingestible, used for parasitic infestations of dogs, cats, cattle and horses as well as humans. It gets rid of fleas, parasites, ticks, ants, flies, etc etc. Pests of all kinds (even head lice). Wolf Creek Lodge in the states sells it by 2 lbs and up with application tools. Good prices and this is what I use with my animals (including birds). Got my fingers crossed. [/QUOTE]
