Hi and thank you for your post. The small worms near the anus could be tapeworms (is they are small and look like little rice granules). Coughing when excited could be contributed to kennel cough or a reverse sneeze. Vomiting could be dietary indiscretion related (eating something other than normal dog food) if it happened just a couple times and no vomiting since then. It is a good idea Hendrix see a veterinarian for the worms and the other issues if they persist. Tape worms (if that is what he has) will need to be treated with praziquantel which comes in a tablet form or injectable form (administered by you veterinarian).
