Greylover97 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Off and on for last week or so, Carolina has been dealing with a mixture of big d and loose stools. We finally went to the vet yesterday. Turns out she has hook worms. She and Jake started Panacur last night and they will both be treated for five days. We are also sitting on the fence about colitis. She has some antibiotics for a week and a special diet for four days. Then she will be put back on her regular diet and we will see what happens. Back in April, Carolina went to a picnic and a week later she got the big d. We went to the vet and he said colitis, he gave us a special diet and something to make her stop going but it didn't work and the thing finally ran it's course. A day later, Jake started with the same thing. I wonder if she picked up the hook worms at the picnic and now she just got them back again. What a mess.

Guest savvyprchick Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Ewwwwwwwww... at least she'll be feeling better soon. Give her an extra kiss I'm glad I only have to worry about tape worms with my two because the Interceptor heartworm meds we use kill all worms except tape. And mine had tape once and it's so gross. Good luck to you and I hope she's back to normal ASAP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burpdog Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Nasty worms! Hook & whip are why I use Interceptor. I bet her bowel clears up once they are gone. Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mandm Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 We are on day 3 of a five day course of Panacur and have seen a dramatic improvement in stool quality. I hoping it's not just a coincidence. We plan on three courses because we suspect, but were unable to confirm, whipworms. Several fecals were clear but we decided on presumptive tretment. I hope you have the same good luck. I think hookworms require two rounds of Panacur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
