Mama and the Hooks


Recommended Posts

Mama Mia, like most greyhounds, came to us with hooks.  I spoke with Carol Becker, of Gods Greyts, at the greyhound event in October about this, and she gave me the Shelly Lake protocol of pills and liquid wormer.  It is a 12 week process of worming every two weeks, 6 times.  Mama Mia has had her second negative fecal since the protocol was finished.  One more and we should be considered cured.  If you are having a problem curing the hooks, think about trying this protocol.  It is very reasonable and obviously, it does work.

My clinic uses a similar 6-dose protocol, but with liquid wormer only. 

My retired barn kitty has been through both the rescue vet's deworming and my clinic's 6-dose protocol. She tested negative in October (for antigens as well), but once again has a raging case of roundworm. I wouldn't be surprised if the hooks are back too. (We didn't test because I found worms in vomit.) Sigh.
