Parasites are not biased in terms of healthy vs non-healthy hosts. They see
a live host - they attach. Symptoms may appear quicker in unhealthy dogs,
but parasites are equal opportunity suckers.



but wouldn't a dog who is less stressed and older and more stable be
better able to fight it off?

I ask because while Harley keeps getting worms and crypto and such,
Hannah who is with him 24/7 doing the exact same thing in the exact
same place is free of any problems...

and they eat exactly the same thing.
