Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Small white objects in feces, especially of puppies, can certainly be worms. I recommend bringing a sample of Sumi's feces to your veterinarian so they can analyze it and determine what worms are present. Then they will be able to prescribe the proper deworming medication that will work best for Sumi. I hope this is helpful!
