If you can’t afford to properly treat your animal, honestly, you shouldn’t have one. Really, it needs to see a vet.

Hookworms are passed through the stool. That said- if the puppy PEED on the mattress you should be safe from hookworms.

Hookworms I believe CAN be transmitted through the skin- so I would make sure to wash your foot thoroughly and to bleach the area as best as possible in a 1:10 concentration. (1 part bleach to 10 parts water.)

If you start to notice any signs of abdominal cramping, anemia, upset stomach, diarrhea, etc- get yourself to a doctor and make sure to mention your pup had hookworms.

The larva is spread thru the dogs blood and the worms grow in the heart. hence heart worms..
The worms will grow until they are killed in their entirety.. The treatment can even kill the dog as well as the worms and then there is days of coughing and difficulty following the tx until all is out of the dogs system..
It is not a treatment to be done lightly but the dog will grow weaker and eventually pass away if not treated.

The spores can live in the environment for up to 13 months and are very hard to get rid of, so reinfection of animals is also a common problem. As well, children are highly susceptible to these infections, so it is very important to rid the household of this fungus as soon as possible.

This disorder usually appears as a lesion upon the skin of an animal or human and requires medical attention. It looks like a rapidly growing circular patch of broken hair in most cases. The patch may look somewhat inflamed and appear to have “dandruff” like flakes on it. However, sometimes it is very hard to spot ringworm, especially in dogs.

A veterinarian can usually diagnose ringworm by using an ultraviolet light. In some cases however, this isn’t enough and a sample of hair or scrapping of the skin is needed for further diagnosis. Treatment is basically in the form of antifungal pills and/or topical medications such as creams or medicated shampoos.

The major problem is getting rid of the spores in your home so they don’t reinfect your pets. Most spores are shed through the fur into the carpet, so occasional “dip” baths may be required to kill the spores that may linger on the fur of your dog. As well, it is recommended that you destroy all pet bedding, blankets, brushes/combs, and other items used by the canine.

Any items that cannot be thrown out need to be soaked thoroughly in a solution of hot water and Betadine or Iodophor for one hour. They should then be rinsed in a mixture of water and .5% chlorine bleach. Drying the items outdoors in sunlight will also help. Vacuum your house thoroughly and be sure to immediately dispose of the vacuum bag. Then have all carpets and upholstery steam-cleaned and wash all walls with a mixture of water and chlorine bleach. If you have an air filter in your home, you must also dispose of the filter.

Yes it could very much be roundworm in fact you described them perfectly. They will do a fecal test on your dog and give medication. I know there is worming medications available over the counter not sure if its for round or ring worm though.
