| I think tap worms come out alive. If you take it off the poop and spread it out, you should be able to tell if its a worm or not. Obviously put some gloves on, or use some utensils! hehe good lucK! |

| Here's a site on worms http://www.thepetcenter.com/exa/worms.html Not sure if what it is, but it's always best to check with your Vet. I hope it's just grass. Please keep us posted

| Tape worms look like little tiny pieces of flat pasta that comes in some of those pre-packaged pasta dishes.... the ones that are about 1/4" long and are kinda ovalish. We are always here to help another's poop problem! LOL |

| LOL! Thank goodness computer technology doesn't yet include smell-o-vision! I have a cat that gets tapeworms CHRONICALLY. I always read about people seeing them on the poop, and I never do. I always see them crawling out of his rear, and dried up in places where he's been laying. They're the "little wiggley rice" worms. Once, he threw one up, and on the inside they are (as people have sd) flat and WIDE and connected, not long and skinny. Connected side to side, not end to end, if that makes any sense. ANYWAY! All that to say, I'm somewhat of a reluctant tapeworm expert , and no, that doesn't look like tapeworm to me! Don't blame you for being paranoid, though! |

| Has your dog had a wormer from the vet, other than what you mentioned? My vet did it as an injection. That is all he ever had.

| I agree with those that say it looks like grass...tapeworms that I have seen look like pieces of rice to best describe. I have not, however, seen one of the pieces move, but I have also never studied it for very long!!

Donating YT 10K Club Member | It's grass. You can take it to the vet, but expect to get a smile along with the diagnosis
