Guest JudiK Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 My poor little foster dog has a severe infestation of hookworm. Doc gave me 7 packets of Panacur to mix in with her food. No problem - she is always starving. Due to the runny poo, I have been cooking bland diet for her for two weeks <sigh.> This morning, she stopped eating. I'm thinking that I can mix another dose into meat-flavored baby food this evening to make sure that she gets it - and get one more dose from Doc when I pick-up Pear (my heart dog who has spent his Christmas in the hospital... another discussion all together). I don't want to call Doc, since she is spending her Christmas trying to stop Pear's bleeding (2 additional surgeries), then chasing all around to get him Amicar on Christmas weekend. So, GT - is it normal for a dog on Panacur for tons of hookworms, to stop eating on about day three?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burpdog Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Possible. I'd give her a pepcid, tagamet or zantac and see if it helps. Quote Diane & The Senior Gang Burpdog Biscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JudiK Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 Thanks, Diane - you solved both of my medical problems this weekend. I guess I owe GAN a couple of collar/leash sets. I will make you some of my prettiest, with matching tag collars since I'm off for three more weeks. Will you be at GiG this year or should I ship them??

Guest JudiK Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Ghost (my little foster girl) finished her medicine tonight and Pear is home. Life is good. Thank you for your help and kind wishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LindsaySF Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Sometimes they stop eating. I've even had a foster vomit afterwards. Glad things are looking up for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
