yes it is normal so don't worry it's actually normal for puppies and kittens so dont be alarmed but the reason they get it is your kittens or puppies mother would naturally nurse their puppy or kitten but because how rich the mothers milk is the hookworms are attract to it and they try to get to the nipples but end up being sucked up by the puppies or kittens that nurse. So now your probably wondering "oh well how do they survive in a puppy or kittens belly if they have been drank?" well that's easy to answer! hookworms breath through there mouth and all but their mouth is so small it's hard to breath so they can also breath through there skin and that's a lot of ways to breath plus they adapted to the stomach aside and so they wont die. anyways back to the point hookworms will take all the nu-trance from the puppy or kittens so they will keep getting thirsty and hungry so if you get a new puppy or kitten from a breeder or a shelter when it poops look at it and examine it and put on gloves if you cant see anything and look at the poop closely and if you see a hookworm chances are you have more in your puppy or kittens belly eating what your pet eats or drinking what your pet drinks and taking it away so even if you see 1 you don't want to take the chances so as soon as you see it you should go to Walmart, PetSmart, Vet or the animal shelter and ask for Worms Away and when you give your pet food get some soft food ( can food ) and take to top off of the pill and sprinkle it on the canned food and then mix it really good! and then the next time you take you pet to go potty check the poop if you see hookworms in the poop and there not moving you've killed them but the first day you give it to your kitten or puppy in 10 more days give them it again. If they haven't died off yet in another 10 days give them another but ONLY IF YOUR PET REALLY NEEDS IT! well there you have it :)

bye!

I have never seen a puppy throw up yet it could mean that something is wrong with their diet. If your puppy is constantly throwing up, take it to the vet immediately.

Is there a natural way to rid 10 month puppy from hook worms Took him to vet-has hook worms-treated 10 days ago- Won't eat-got sick this morning. no money 4 vet-85?

No, there is not a natural remedy that will eliminate hookworms from your puppy. I would suspect the hookworms are not your puppy's problem, however. If your puppy doesn't start eating within 24 hours, you may need to call your veterinarian and see what kind of payment plan you can arrange to get your puppy some medical attention.

Those are probably hookworms or whipworms. Take your puppy to the vet asap. The worms eat all the food the puppy takes in, and he gets no nutrition.
