If you've dewormed him, you should still be able to see them but they'll be dead and dried out. I'm not sure about the white dots. |
When it comes to my babies, nothing is gross to me. I adopted Cody 9 months ago, I did not have him dewormed. He came with a folder of all his shots, he was a surrender dog. The vets sister is involved with the rescue team, she had my vets staff enter what ever was in that medical folder. Cody was 2 1/2 y/o when I got him, he turned 3 y/o in March. I was not advised to deworm when I adopted. Years back when I bought 8 week old puppies they were dewormed and given the shots they needed. As adults they were never dewormed again. I will deff, bring this up to my vet. And the next poop I will spread it out and look to see if he has what you described. If I see moving things I will be on the phone with my findings, my vet is a 24/7 emergency hospital, with vets on duty and a full staff. I cannot express to you what this information you have offered means to me. Thank you so much.
