It is to late. Kind of a crappy deal. Purchased a 10 week old pup from a guy who called me the next day saying the pups had hookworms that one of his started acting really sick. And I needed to get it to the vet. He had been worming with Nemex since 2 weeks but only giving one round each time. I had never dealt with hooks and never realized the severity of hooks. I have had wormy pups in the past that were fine after a good worming.  Instead of paying a emergency visit to the vet for some wormer I gave the dog some generic drontal plus which I keep on hand and use on numerous dogs. Next morning pup was so weak it could'nt walk and died shortly after. Needless to say Im out of a pup and my money because The seller says I didnt bring the pup to the vet like I was told too. And I needed "that good wormer from the vet because the stuff you get on the internet dont work like its suposta".

That led me to the question on how fast these worms can kill. I felt that if that pup was that bad off over night no wormer would of did it any good. I have chaulked it up as a learning experince on who I buy pups from and also a education on wormers and parisites. Whats your opinions?
