Default Scooting problems..

The vet told me to keep an eye out for tapeworm in her poo. I'm not really sure what to do, I don't see anything in her poo that seems white and swiggly like the vet said.

Has anyone experienced anything similar with their yorkies?

Thanks in advance for any adivce or suggestions!
My yorkies do that a lot. We call it hellicoptering, because they do it in circles! We have gotten their anal sacs drained, but it is a constant thing, ongoing. The vet says they can get infections if they don't get drained regularly, but I tend not to take them all of the time. My one yorkie has it bad, and she gets so nervous when I take her to the vet, so I don't take her that often. My bad.
