Treating Hookworm Infection in Dogs
Hookworm disease in dogs is caused by the dog hookworm (Ancylostoma) and the narrow-head hookworm (Uncinaria). These small parasites latch onto the intestinal wall and feed on blood; severe infection causes pale mucous membranes, weight loss, a rough coat, poor appetite, vomiting, and alternating diarrhea and constipation with bloody, tarry, foul stools. In puppies, skin invasion causes inflammation, and infection in 3-week-old pups can cause fatal anemia. Treatment starts with deworming—an injectable antiparasitic against hookworms, with pyrantel or levamisole also used for killing—and severe cases need supportive care such as iron supplements or a transfusion for anemia.
