Our 10 yr old beagle was tested for hook worms. She has em bad. They gave worm MED's & liq. vitamins & b-12 shots last Thursday. Been 4 days and she is still real weak & not eating. She's drinking little water. How long does it take for her to start feeling better or should I go ahead take her back yo vet's in morning?

Poor pup! Hookworms should not cause her to go days without eating, so I would definitely recommend taking her back to your vet first thing in the morning. She may need blood work or other testing to see if something more serious is wrong.
