| Her is what I know. Hookworms suck blood and in rare instances can make the animal anemic and even kill it. They can infest both cats and dogs. Hookworm larvae can be swallowed or it can penetrate through the skin if a lawn is contaminated.

Donating YT 14K Club Member | well, Dallas started off with runny poop and then had bloody jello looking stuff come out. It can be coccidia but I got his poop tested.

| I didn't have coccidia or hookworms until I bought 3 girls from my ex-mentor who was staying on a farm, with chickens, while her new house was being renovated. I nearly lost 4 puppies to low blood sugar and coccidia about 2 months ago. About a week later I nearly lost a 7 month old puppy to the hookworms. He became anemic and the vet said he didn't think he would live. Course I'm not gonna leave him at the vets to die so I take him home and he recovered and has a new home now where he's doing fine. I had 10 puppies up for sale and 2 of them I sold did die because of the coccidia and low blood sugar. I have offered to replace the puppies but only one of the families has responded so far. I can't blame them for being wary but my dogs were fine before I brought the 3 new girls into my home so I do blame my ex-mentor for all these problems. I am also grateful that I now know about these problems. Sylvia |
