From your description, it sounds most likely that Hummer has hookworms, but roundworms are also possible. While it would be ideal to have a stool sample analyzed by his vet to determine if any other parasites are present as well (many can only be seen microscopically), there are a number of dewormers available over the counter to treat both roundworms and hookworms. Dewormers containing either pyrantel pamoate or fenbendazole are generally effective against these parasites as long as you are dosing for Hummer's current body weight. Be sure to repeat the dose in 3 weeks. Clean up your yard well after each bowel movement to prevent Hummer from becoming reinfected with these worms. I hope this helps and that all goes well!
