So I researched why it could be and tape worms came up. Well he did poop and upon seeing it I see lots of yellow-what looks like grains of rice. No moving or anything. This was just now. But he did have rice the day before so I'm wondering if it's rice or tape worms. He did put a little weight back on, just a tiiiiiny bit. Are the 'worms' supposed to move? Should there be a lot? I took a picture but it's ew gross. |
What does he take monthly for heartworm prevention? Some of those have meds for regular parasites as well. I give my furry kids pyrantel pamoate with the heartworm meds to help control tapeworms.
Link to google search"tapeworm in dog stool" and see if that is what you are seeing:
