We think Sadie might have a tapeworm(s). I know they are going to do a fecal sample tonight and see what they can find, but i read that those fecal samples don't always show tape worms.

The reason we think it's a worm is that her feces was runny today and had little particles that look like seasame seeds or thicker rice grains. We also have been doing everything we can to feed her to put weight on her to no avail so now i really think it's a worm and she's not getting her nutrients and putting on weight.

Anyone had this experience that can give me advice as to how to get this fixed and what the vets will do for her after trying to find a worm?

Thanks i'm a bit worried about her.
