Hello there! If the worm wasn't moving, it was likely dead, and some worms do get excreted once they die from the dewormer instead of being resorbed into the body, especially if Skye had a lot of them. I would not give her more dewormer without the advice of a veterinarian at this point as they will likely deworm her again at her next appointment. Good luck, and I hope Skye grows up to be a healthy, happy young dog! :)
