HELP WITH WORMS !!!!!!!!

[TXCALLER]

Heres the story i had my yard dog ( blue heeler ) and a strike dog ( plott ) have some unplanned
pups. Momma had three pups one still born and the other two were doing fine untill last night.
one of them started this grunting thing. and not eating. this morning my wife took the pup to the vet.
vet diagnosed hook worms and also exrayed and said her lungs are full of blood. they are working hard trying to save her. my wife will be taking the other pup in later today to be checked and treated if needed.

 now my concern has turned toward all my other dogs . i have had dogs all my life. heahly dogs that very rarly went to the vet and i had never had to worm or treat any kind of sickness. all of my other dogs seem to be heathy with no simptoms of being sick. my question is can i treat these worms myself ? any precautions i can take from this happening again? any help would be greatly appricated!

Thanks in advanced

Here is what i have done. And it does work. As fer the puppies i use panacur every 10 days from birth. up to 3 months.

A prevention program for treatment for hookworms in dogs includes removing the threat of worms from outdoor areas where your dog lives.

1. Every day or at most every week remove feces from the outdoor area where it accumulates. Place feces in a bag and throw out in the trash or flush in a toilet.

2. For hookworm larvae removal, metal or concrete surfaces will have to be decontaminated with bleach or ammonia. Use a a 1% bleach solution (sodium hypochlorite). This approach will cause the larvae to shed their protective sheath and become subject to dehydration and other environmental factors. Flaming surfaces also kills the larvae.

3. Soil or gravel should kill larvae by using heat or sodium borate (at 10 lbs/100 sq ft) to kill larvae. Note that any plants that come in contact with the sodium borate will be killed as well.

According to the University of Florida effective treatments for the control of hookworm include: the use of salt brine (1.5 lb common salt per gallon of water, applied at 1 pt per sq ft) or borax, for bare ground, gravel or concrete. There is no known product for both effective for control of infective hookworm larvae on/in living turf or other plants and safe for plants.
