Except in severe cases of heartworm infestation, worms do not usually constitute an emergency. However, worms should never be left untreated, as worm infestations can cause damage to your dog's internal organs. In a worst-case scenario, the effects of worms can even lead to a loss of consciousness and death.

Hookworms suck blood from your dog's small intestine and can cause symptoms such as bloody diarrhea, weight loss, weakness, and anemia.
