It sounds like Chintu has intestinal worms. To treat this requires a deworming treatment, which you can get over the counter. I recommend Panacur. I would give both Chintu and your Golden the Panacur, as Chintu can pass the worms to him. It's lovely of you to look after Chintu. Give them both the deworming treatment as soon as possible, then follow up with another treatment two weeks after the first. After that, they should both receive a deworming treatment every three months :-)
