What are clear pink worms with red heads coming from my puppy's butt?

Question

I have 4 puppies but only one of them has these worms coming out of his butt. They are clear/pinkish with a red head. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | unneutered | 5 months and 22 days old | 6 lbs

These are tapeworms and should be ideally treated with an effective prescription product. Fleas should be ideally controlled as well as they cause the infection (the worm lives inside the flea during his life cycle). Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
