Pebbles had hookworms from killing a rabbit and she was very sick. They are not easily detected and can live for a long time in the intestines. My vet relayed a story about another dog that was always sick and they could not figure out what the issue was until he actually passed one. Once treated the problems when away. He told me that now when he hears that a dog had killed a rabbit he treats for the parasite because of this incident.
When Pebbles had a hookworm problem, was she on Sentinel at the time?
