[QUOTE="donna723, post: 18221, member: 1883"] Lisa, my youngest Boston, Katy, got sick with with the exact same thing just a few days before we were leaving to go out of state for Christmas! Talk about good timing! This came on her [I]very[/I] suddenly - one day she was fine and the next day she had all this! She seemed to feel fine but there was huge amounts of gross, vile smelling, bloody stuff coming out of the south end of this chubby little dog who has always been healthy as a horse! I took her to the vet because she chews so much, I was afraid that she had swallowed a piece of a toy or something and it was lodged in her intestines. He checked her for worms and found out she had a REALLY high level of [I]hookworms[/I], and they can give them those same symptoms. There never was any worms actually visible though. I don't know if there is a different kind of medicine for each kind of worms, but what he gave us was white stuff to dose all three dogs with. Even though the other two weren't sick, they probably had them too. 1 cc for each 20 lbs. of body weight for three days, and Ms. Katy was cured! medications just for roundworms may not kill hookworms too. Makes me so mad! I am [I][B]SO[/B][/I] careful with my dogs, but apparently every straggly little stray in town uses my front yard as their own personal little potty place! [/QUOTE]
