My dog has a long, non-moving worm-like thing. What could it be?

Question

Hello my dog has this long worm looking thing that doesn't move and he doesn't do anything when i touch it so i guess he isn't in pain and he lays on it. Pet's info: Dog | Pit Bull Terrier | Male | unneutered

I'm unclear as to where this long worm looking thing is coming from on Romeo. If it is coming out of his anus, then he has worms, and that worm is likely a roundworm. He will need a deworming treatment as he will have many more inside his intestines. You can get him Panacur OTC from your vet's clinic or pet store which will kill the worms. If this worm is coming from another place on his body, please post again with that information so an expert can help you :-)
