Hi there! Shadow is a very pretty girl :) You can get a broad spectrum dewormer like Panacur or Strongid at most pet stores, which will get rid of most intestinal parasites including roundworms and hookworms. Just follow the dosing instructions on the package for your pup's weight. Your veterinarian can do a fecal exam at your appointment to make sure that she doesn't have any other parasites that may need a different medication to treat.
