<p>The gassiness may be due to not having as much in his gut after a bout of diarrhea; it takes a couple of days for things to get back to normal. Sophie picked up hookworms; vet said it might be from her not-so-secret vice of eating rabbit droppings. We try our best to prevent it but unless we keep her on a short leash all the time and never let her patrol the yard she manages to find them. Corgi persistence, you know!

<p>Thank you all!! He does seem to be feeling fine! He has been gassy, which is so odd, but I'm guessing it's either a side effect of the medication or the bland diet? He's on Heartgard Plus and I read the insert and I'm now baffled because it claims to prevent hookworm. I'm going to have to call the vet and ask if I should switch him to something else.</p>

<p>I think Heartguard only does heartworm prevention and Heartguard Plus also does some intestinal worms, including hookworms. Hookworms are picked up through the pads of the feet from eggs on the ground, so you want to be careful of re-infestation, you may want to discuss this with your Vet.</p>

<p>Oh no. I'm so sorry. But at least you know what it is and you can treat him. I hope he is still feeling good! Thanks for the update.</p>

<p>So, my poor little peanut has hookworm. Which I'm surprised by because he's on Heartgard, which is supposed to prevent hookworm. Anyone know how he'd still be able to get that? I wasn't able to ask the vet today. He has Panacur to take for the next 3 days and then again in 3 weeks.</p>

<p>Thank you! He seems to be enjoying his bland diet and pills with cheese, haha. Only problem, I called the vet today and they said there was a problem processing his fecal sample, so I had to bring a new one today. My only concern is that after 3 days of antibiotic isn't whatever the problem was not likely to show up now? He seems fine, but I'd really like to have some idea what caused this in the first place.</p>

<p>So, Linus is his normal derpy self. He's been running around the yard and playing and acting like there is nothing wrong. He has not had a bowel movement since the episode, but he has also been on the bland diet and i did not feed him the day he had the diarrhea. The vet did not call yesterday (he said no news is good news), but I'm going to call today just to make sure. (I'm such a nervous pet parent) In the meantime, he's been taking his antibiotics and seems fine.</p>
