Hello

My puppy is 10 weeks old and just diagnosed with Hookworms. The vet said she had them at birth. They gave her medicine right away and I will have to take her back in at 2 weeks for another dose and he said she will be just fine. I am so worried. I noticed she was so thin and I thought that was normal until I saw my bosses yorkies which are her sisters and they are double her weight.

Will she gain weight now and catch up or what should I do. The vet seemed to think she will be find but I would like her to gain weight faster, I am worried about her. I Love her and if something happened to her I would just die.

My daughter, and granddaughter just moved out and I am having empty next syndrome as it is (crying like a baby) and she is my saving grace.

Any help would be appreciated.

Laurie
