#MEDICATIONS FOR TREATING HOOKWORMS IN HUMANS FREE#
If a dog is on medication and finally becomes hook free, they've become hook free because the larval leak cycle has been disrupted and the adult hooks have been killed off. It's never been explained to me in a way that makes sense. I'm not completely convinced they can really be reinfected from the yard. It seems like each time we turn around, there is something else to contend with. I share that only to give context for spending a lot of $$$$ and our lives have become way more stressful than we ever experienced with our first GH. This is coming on top of Ruby having a degree of separation anxiety/isolation distress (another thread on this soon, possibly). I am looking for a method of decontamination and ongoing maintenance that is effective yet also allows for our yard to remain my partner's pride. Please do not judge, but our lush, green lawn is my partners' pride, and doing something drastic like killing off the grass with Borax or spraying bleach on the spots where Ruby poops is not going to go over well. Anyone have experience with this method to keep the yard clean of hookworms? Should we use food grade DE? Does anyone have feedback on the effectiveness of this product? Also, have read that sprinkling diamataceous earth on the spots where she poops will also kill the larvae. Online research turned up a product called Wondercide. I have called around the Nashville area and no pest control company treats yards for hooks (at least that I have found). For the first month we had her, we would scoop poop every other day or so, and are worried that the yard was potentially contaminated during that period. Also, we have only just started cleaning after every poop in the last few days, when we became aware of the necessity to do so. We clean up the stools each time she poops, but inevitably, because it is the consistency of soft serve, it is impossible to get it all up. We have a very large fenced, grassy back yard, and Ruby has not landed on a particular area to do her business, so we are talking a very large area that is potentially contaminated and we will need to stay on top of. We feel optimistic about the course of treatment (which we found here via a link to Dr.

Will re-dose with Drontal Plus mid-month until she has 3 clean fecals. Will begin monthly Advantage Multi on March 1. Dosed with Drontal Plus yesterday, and so far has tolerated it without concern. She was dewormed in foster care, but fecal tested positive for hooks yesterday. We lost Rosie in 2018, and brought Ruby home on 1.27.19. New to the forum, and a recent adopter of our second GH.
