    I also have to wonder if he would have NEEDED the Fortaz* (*at all, or for so many injections?) if his hookworms had actually been addressed? I think you need to ask your vet a lot of questions.

    Also, has he kept ANY kind of food down (liquid or solid) SINCE he was done with the Fortaz? If that's what is causing his regurgitations, then I'd be tube-feeding him (Gerber's chicken diluted plus probiotics) for a while as it's easier for his stomach to handle. But since you just fed him, I'll keep my fingers crossed & hope he can handle it.
