Hookworm disease mostly occurs in summer, and it is more likely to occur if the environment is humid and not ventilated. Usually, we must ensure that the environment in which the dog is in is dry, ventilated and breathable, and clean up feces in a timely manner. For cages or toys that dogs come into contact with, clean and disinfect them more, or place them in strong sunlight to expose them to the sun to kill the insect eggs. The commercial preparation is 4.5% iodine nitrophenol solution, and the dose of 1 subcutaneous injection is 0.22 ml (10 mg) per kilogram of body weight, which is nearly 100% effective for various hookworms in dogs. In addition, levomidazole, melamine, and thipyrimidine can also be used to deworm. For example, the dosage method can be used to refer to ascariasis. There is no need to fast when administering the drug, there will be no adverse reactions, and it is also suitable for puppies.
Of course, if you are just an ordinary shoveler and have no relevant experience and skills, you can take your dog directly to a pet hospital or pet store for diagnosis and treatment by professionals. It is not difficult to treat hookworm disease. If you find that your dog at home has the above similar phenomena, necessary examinations should still be available.
