Hookworm Image

Hookworms are relatively more dangerous than other types of worms in pets. Left untreated, hookworms can lead to death. This is particularly true for young puppies.

Hookworms are ravenous creatures that suck blood by sticking themselves to the intestinal walls of the host. The hookworm larvae can even burrow into the skin of the human foot or leg causing itchy lesions. Hookworms are not as common among the feline parasites, but if they do infect a cat, they can be equally problematic for cats, dogs and humans.

Symptoms of worms in dogs are mostly general in nature, but hookworms, being voracious blood suckers, can drain energy in puppies to a much larger extent than in adult dogs. Symptoms of hookworms in puppies depend upon the severity of the infection. The most common symptoms of hookworm infestation in puppies include anemia (in severe cases), disturbance in bowel movement and diminished vitality. Hookworms can affect a young dog to such an extent that even mild infection causes a puppy to curl up and sleep for long hours, shunning play.

Since hookworms can also penetrate human skin, it is advised that children be kept away from infected puppies. Keep free of intestinal worms - children and adults Walking barefoot in areas where the dogs defecate, like the backyard or the garden, can be dangerous for adults also.
