Hookworms are smaller than other intestinal parasites like dog tapeworms and roundworms. Their affect on the host’s body is also different from other parasitical worms.

Worms in dogs are usually excreted and are visible in stools but hookworms are so small that they cannot be seen with the naked eye. In most cases even a microscopic examination is unable to reveal their presence.

Hookworms are also different from other worms in the manner in which they cause diseases. The other kinds of worms mechanically obstruct the intestinal passage and migrate through tissues but hookworms cling to the intestinal walls and suck the host’s blood.

Dogs can get infested with hookworms in many ways. Hookworms lay eggs in the intestines of an infested animal. These are then excreted through stools. Once the eggs hatch, the larvae can migrate through water and vegetation and enter a dog’s body through various routes.

Infestation can occur when a dog comsumes larvae from infested water or soil or eats another animal like a rodent which is already infected. Some larvae can directly penetrate the dog’s skin. Other means of infestation can be linked to birth process.

Puppies can get infested with hookworms if their mother is already infested. This can happen due to transfering of the larvae through the uterus or the mammary glands.

It takes about five to seven weeks for an adult hookworm to mature, mate and lay eggs. Due to this reason, diagnosing infestation at an early stage is difficult. It is most likely that symptoms of hookworms in dogs will surface before you can actually detect any worms in the dog’s feces.

Once infested, hookworms produce a somewhat different set of symptoms of worms in dogs as compared to other intestinal parasites.

These symptoms are:

* Weight loss to the extent of emaciation.
* Dark stools that appear like tar.
* Dry and dull coat.
* Pale gums
* Restricted growth in younger dogs.

Hookworms are voracious blood suckers and can affect the dog’s interiors in a way that is potentially fatal. Hookworm infestaton ultimately leads to severe anemia. There is excessive loss of iron and proteins in the body. They also damage the mucus secreting membrane that line the body cavities.

Hookworms are not included in the list of common feline parasites but if they do take up residence in a host they can be very dangerous to the overall health. They have been known to spread to reach the stage of an epidemic.

Preventive measures like treating the environment and flaming the area where you see feces can help in prevention of this potentially fatal parasite.

mga masters naa lang ko ask
unsa maau para pagana balik sa kaon sa dog... ako man gud iro ako gibyahe ug layo from mandaue to carcar straight, hunong lang mi kajut sa naga...sa diri pa ok pa kaau iya apetite gana kau mokaun.. sa didto na ako na gibilin sa carcar pagka-gabii adto dili naman mokaon wala na gana...hasta pagkaugma dili na ganahan mokaon...pila na ka days ing-ana na lahi ra jud iya kinan-an... unsa kaha maau buhaton para maulian iya apetite?

[Ironwood_Cebu]

first time nga dili nikaon must probably because of stress and nalipong pa sa byahe; usually i really dont give much food (or no food at all during that time).

sa second day, unta nibalik na iya gana ato... must be nangita ninyo ug nabag-ohan siya sa iya new environment. pila na ka-days hinay kaon? hinay lang ba, or dili jod mukaon? if hinay ra, let him/her be sa.. as long as naay musud nga food, he'll be fine. prob ra if mudagan na pila semana, there must be some reasons deeper than just loss of appetite.
