11 week old Dalmation

Question
My puppy seems to be having stomach pains. He has had a few naps this afternoon and woken up yelping and screaming. The last time he woke up he was screaming and yelping and when I touched his belly he screamed louder. He can`t seem to get comfortable now and lies down, gets up, lies down, gets up wriggles around and lies down again, all the while whining and groaning. He is an 11 week old Dalmation that at 9 weeks suffered from a life threatening bout of hookworm that the vets quickly cleared up with medication and a blood transfusion. It`s been about a week and a half since that and I will be taking him for a check up this week. Is there anything I can do for him?

Answer
If this dog was treated just a week and a half ago you need to call the vet today and tell them he is having these pains. I wouldn't wait around, he could have a perforation of his stomach or intestine from these worms or a blockage from them dying off.

Call your vet asap.
