Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Archie! There is no reason to be scared. Intestinal parasites (worms) are very common in puppies. Long spaghetti worms tend to be round worms which are transmitted from the mother's milk to the puppy. When every one gets up, call your Vet and get an appointment. Collect a stool sample to bring with you. Archie should be starting his vaccines soon, be dewormed and examined. I wish you all the best!
