My puppy had something hanging from her rear. Could it be a worm?

Question

My puppy had something hanging from her butt last night I pulled it out how do I know if it’s a worm or not. Pet's info: Dog | Pug | Female | unspayed | 6 months and 18 days old | 10 lbs

It does not look like a worm but you should take a stool sample to your dog's vet and have it tested for parasites. That is the best way to know if she has any intestinal parasites that need to be treated.
