Question

If I seen long stringy worms in my dog poop weeks ago and don't see them now are they still there? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 4 months and 4 days old

Long, stringy worms in the stool are usually roundworms. Unless you have dewormed Ra'ra since you saw the worms, then yes - I'm afraid she still has them, even if you aren't actually seeing adult worms in the stool. I would recommend deworming her with a good broad-spectrum dewormer to get rid of the worms - you can get one from your vet, or purchase an over-the-counter product like Panacur. Just make sure to follow the instructions on the package for her body weight.
