I currently have a 10 week yorkie who was recently diagnosed with hookworms and is now being treated with it. Apparently she was born with it and her sisters were not. Im assuming she is small because of this temporary problem, but her sisters are double her size. Is this normal. Do you know if she will gain weight and be their size as she is so tiny. I am worried she will always be this tiny. Any help would be appreciated. Also what can I give her to gain a little weight. Someone told me cottage cheese. I am going to give this a shot. Thanks

If she has worms then she'll definately gain some weight after they're gone. Most likely if she has worms so do her sisters.
