My puppy has white balls in her poop. Should I take her to the vet?

Question

Is it bad if my puppy has little white balls in her feces? Should I take her to the vet? Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | unspayed | 13 days old

Yes, I would take Penelope into the vet. What you are seeing could be tapeworm segments, and she will need a deworming treatment from the vet to treat it. I would bring in a sample of her feces for your vet to examine, and once they confirm she does have tapeworms, they can prescribe her Drontal to treat them.
