Senior Yorkie Talker | Little White Balls in her POO! Worms?? Hey everyone, Bella is finally coming back from being so sick but I noticed these very small white balls in her poo. They aren't from the rice because they are much smaller but all look the same in size and spherical roundness. I have been looking up information about worms and i am wondering if maybe she has worms but I don't understand why they would be in the shape of small white balls. I would say in each poo there are about 10 of them maybe more maybe less. She is doing great, has a lot of energy, extremely out going and happy. But I am just concerned about these white balls. She did one time run her bottom across the floor which I found to beone of the symptoms of worms. I hope someone can help, I have googled this and look online everywhere to figure it out. I just want to know if I need to get her to the vet ASAP! Thanks again everyone, I know I keep posting just worried about my little Bella[/FONT]

| it could be tapeworm segments so yes she needs to be dewormed not an emergency but the sooner the better. |
