Gizmo was treated four weeks ago for tapeworms with a praziquantel tab at the vet. I had seen them in his stool and the vet tested a fecal sample. We treated the whole house for fleas and have kept him indoors since. I haven't seen any signs of more fleas. Two weeks ago he had a treatment with Frontline (flea preventative) but the vet saw no new fleas. He also had his heartworm treatment at the same time.

This morning I noticed what appear to be new tapeworm segments in his stool!! Is this just still clearing out of his system or could he have them again? Maybe the meds haven't been effective? Am I losing my mind? (Okay, yes on the losing my mind part! LOL)

Any suggestions would be helpful.
