| Eeek! That is one long piece of the worm. Max had one a couple years ago. Took him to the vet and received a one dose med, Drontal, that took care of it. *shivers* Here is my thread about Max: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/yor...tapeworms.html

| Oh definitely trip to the vet and take that thing with you, put it in a jar or tin foil and don't squash it yuck. OMG if that came from MY dog I would be at the vet NOW, the thought of something LIVE in my dog I would be tripping, but that is just me. Good luck.

| Did the Vet tell you need to make sure he doesn't have any flea's??? This is how they get Tapeworms by eating a flea.

| My girl had horrible worms when I rescued her. They MOVED!! I was absolutely horrified. Thankfully a dose of wormer from the vet knocked them right out.
