My dog has orange, squishy poop with rice. Could it be worms?

Question

My dog had very soft stool for 2/3 days. He didn't go yesterday and then today I had to force him to go. It was orange in color and squishy. There was a little normal color stool but mostly the orange. There was also rice in it that id been feeding him. He's acting totally normal (energetic, same appetite, same thirst) he is a large dog. 90lbs. Pet's info: Dog | Catahoula Leopard Dog | Male | neutered | 4 years and 8 months old | 85 lbs

The rice should not have come out whole and undigested. What you were most likely seeing is tapeworm segments, which look very much like rice. If you can, bring a stool sample to the vet so they can analyze it. If it is tapeworm, you will be given a dewormer to use.
