The seed-like substances in Prince's stool could be due to a number of possibilities, including worm segments, pollen granules, sand, actual seeds, silica granules, among many other possibilities. Since this is an abnormal finding, I recommend taking a stool sample to Prince's vet so that a fecal flotation test can be run to determine if parasites are present, or if this is just a benign incidental finding. I hope this helps and that all goes well!
