As with most rescue dogs, new owners typically face a multitude of health concerns that need to be addressed. Turns out little Charlie didn't just have nerves that he was dealing with, but he was facing a horrible case of hookworm and possibly whip worm!
NASTY.
No wonder he's been so sick - I had a feeling it might be something like that, but was definitely not expecting hookworm.
So now he's on a lovely array of medications - he got this amazing "Revolution" treatment. Anyone who's a dog owner needs to be using this, if you aren't already. It treats heartworm, flea, tick, and an array of skin parasites with just one application (I should be their PR rep).
And he's also going to be given a pro-biotic for the next week, along with a 2 week deworming treatment!
So my little pup should be feeling like a brand new dog in just a couple of days :)
