Heartworm prevention with products containing milbemycin control A caninum, whereas ivermectin/pyrantel, ivermectin/pyrantel/praziquantel, moxidectin, and moxidectin/imidacloprid control A caninum and U stenocephala. When anemia is severe, chemotherapy may have to be supported by blood transfusion or supplemental iron, followed by a high-protein diet until the Hgb level is normal. Nitroscanate is also approved for both hookworms at 50 mg/kg in some countries (eg, Canada). The large roundworms (ascaridoid nematodes) of dogs and cats are common, especially in puppies and kittens. Milbemycin is also approved for treatment of A caninum infections (see Table: Drugs for Intestinal Helminths of Dogs Approved in the USA and UK Drugs for Intestinal Helminths of Dogs Approved in the USA and UK Toxocara canis ova (larger structures) and Cystoisospora oocysts (smaller structures).

In dogs, fenbendazole, moxidectin, and pyrantel are approved for treatment of A caninum and U stenocephala infections. Arrested development may also occur in the mucosa of the small intestine activation may occur after removal of adult worms from the intestine. These arrested larvae are activated during pregnancy, then accumulate in the mammary glands. However, in animals >3 mo old, A caninum larvae, after migration through the lungs, are arrested in the somatic tissues.

Skin penetration in young pups is followed by migration of the larvae through the blood to the lungs, where they are coughed up and swallowed to mature in the small intestine. Infections with A caninum, A braziliense, A tubaeforme, or A ceylanicum can also result from larval invasion through the skin, but this route is of little significance for U stenocephala. Transmission may result from ingestion of infective larvae from the environment and additionally, in the case of A caninum, via the colostrum or milk of infected bitches. The elongate (>65 μm), thin-walled, hookworm eggs in the early cleavage stages (2–8 cells) are first passed in the feces 15–20 days after infection they complete embryonation and hatch in 24–72 hr on warm, moist soil.
