Our vet advised me to use a Seresto collar on our newest greyhound as a safer alternative to Nexgard while she is on the Advantage Multi. Chica has been on Dr. Ng’s protocol since June. Her November fecal was clean (yay) but last week’s showed few ova and presence of adult hooks (boo). My DH and I are excellent poop “catchers”. No paper plate - we just put the bag over our hand, hold it under the dog and turn it inside out. Voilá! But it does require dexterity - and humility. 😝

Sorry for the late post. A few people have told me that, but I found this on the Companion Animal Parasite Council website: Dog hookworms range in size from 10 to 20 mm by 0.4 to 0.5 mm. 20 mm is approximately 3/4”. Chica tested negative for all other worms. She is on her 7th month of treatment. 😕

After discussing it with my vet, I’m following Jennifer Ng’s hookworm protocol with my recently adopted grey. She advised me to use the Seresto collar instead of Nexgard (which I use with my other grey) because the transmission route (topical vs oral) would be safer for her. I’m glad Time4aNap is having good results. We’re on month 3 and it’s been brutal - several bouts of bloody/mucousy diarrhea - even saw a live hookworm. 🤮 I hope this helps.
