Unusual yellow seeds in dog poop: Are they parasites or food?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | neutered | 75 lbs

Unusual yellow seeds in his poop, saw online they may be parasites? It was only in one small section of the stool while the rest remained normal; he has thrown up unusually kind of recently but otherwise seems fine (coat and energy level) and have not shown such weird symptoms before. The stool had to be broken apart for me to find this. He also gets into trash and random things a lot so I was not sure what it could be. Thanks for you help!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Chaka. The objects look more like seeds to me than parasites. Could he have gotten into squash or something similar in the trash? If not, then you will want to take a sample to his veterinarian to rule out any parasites. If he is acting ill, then he should be examined by his veterinarian. I hope this information helps!
