Besides fleas and poo, the tape worms can also be spread by segments that look like tiny grains of rice--they are shed while the dog sleeps, and they look clean, not like something nasty at all. When I found a bunch of them on my bed where my cat had been sleeping, I washed the sheets and blankets and got her to the vet for deworming medicine ASAP. I didn't take her to the ER, but I did go to the vet's at the next regular office hours.
