I’m sorry to hear about Benji. I can’t tell from the picture exactly what that is but it could be a tapeworm segment. Or, if he is naughty about eating things he shouldn’t, it could be something he has eaten trying to come out. I see that Benji is a puppy. I’m not sure if there is anything else going on with him but if there has been lethargy, vomiting, or diarrhea -especially for more than 8 hours- I strongly recommend seeing the emergency vet tonight. These little puppies can become extremely dehydrated and even go into shock very quickly. Best wishes to you and Benji.
