Summary
A deadly, drug-resistant hookworm is spreading through the greyhound racing world, sickening retired dogs and causing anemia, illness, and even death. Once easily treatable, this parasite now demands complex, expensive interventions as vets struggle with dwindling effective medications and global supply issues. Overcrowded racing facilities fuel the problem, creating ideal breeding grounds for resistant strains — mirroring antibiotic resistance in humans. Rescue groups are drowning in costs and delays, with some pups stuck in limbo for months. Now, advocates are demanding mandatory testing, industry accountability, and serious investment in research — calling for animal welfare to be front and center, not an afterthought.
