White worm in Bleu Boys poop any advice?

I would save it in a ziplock and drop it off at your vets.

My vet gives me stool cups to periodically collect Bella's sample.

He will be able to id it and prescribe treatment.

What??? Aww poor baby! I hope he's ok. Is he acting lethargic? Still eating? Peeing? Please let us know what you find out Vicki!

Most likely a tapeworm. Segments will show up, tiny and the parasite causes their tummy to be upset, mucous in poop and sometimes blood. I haven't seen round worms but the vet said they are thin, segments are larger.

Good luck.

If they look like little rice segments then they are tape worms caused by the dog eating a flea. Your vet can provide a small pill that will get rid of them.
