Long story short: My new puppy received her second round of shots with a fecal test. The fecal test was negative.
Two days later when she was pooping, out came a white worm in the poo. it was moving and about 5mm long. I took the dog and the worm to the vet, but the worm had died. It was diagnosed as a tapeworm and she was given a de-wormer pill. We go back in three weeks for her last shots and to check for more worms.
My question is does this look like a tapeworm? (I drew a picture of the thing that I saw.)
Also, a few days later she expelled several more that looked to be all dead.
The worm that was alive could get longer and fatter and eventually shrank and died. The drawing is of the general shape. Not the size.
would a general de wormer kill everything even if it is/isn't tapeworms?
