  1. Time4ANap, you give us hope! Thank you for your thorough reply. We are indeed on Dr. Ng's staggered 14 day AM-Drontal Plus regimen. Just started a few weeks ago after 6 mos of ineffective treatement using more conventional drugs. Our grey clearly has drug-resistant hooks. The prison protocol seems so harsh and overload on medications that must have some detrimental effect, especially when given together every two weeks. Double the dose of Dr. Ng's regimen! We, too, have dealt with horrible and scary bloody stools (mostly blood, bright red, recurring) and bloody vomit, lack of appetite and lethargy (we ruled out other causes and hookworms are the culprits). We'll keep at the current protocol until those buggars are all gone. They have been tormenting our pup for 7 months and we are desperate to clear her system of them. I know she will be like another dog, happier and healthier all around. We see glimmers of this when she is on the metronidazole and is in between nasty episodes. Like another dog! So, I am very happy to hear of your success stories with this same regimen. Thank goodness! I hope our grey responds similarly. These parasites have been difficult for her health and for us, feeling helpless to help her feel better! Thanks again. You too, MaryJane! Your experiences are immensely helpful to us. Much appreciated.
  2. Does anyone worry about the prison protocol because it is double the dose of toxins compared to the conventional regimen? It may get rid of the hooks better but could it have adverse long-term effects? Have there been scientific vet studies on the impact of this double-dose of medication on greyhounds or other breeds? Thanks in advance for any feedback/info.
