What Causes Joints Pain While Deworming With Zentel?

My dog was diagonised with hook worms, so the whole family took deworming tablet zentel, to my surprise i found some worms in my stools as well. Lately I have been having joint pains and all my MRI and blood work were normal. Could the worms cause these symptoms?

Hello,

The joint pains are not likely to be related to the worm infestation. This can be due to a mild arthritis and can improve with mild pain killers and a regular exercise.

I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
