Hello, sorry to hear about Juju. Most of the time, those are tape worms that are contracted from fleas. Juju needs to get dewormed and be treated for fleas so that you can have the best chance to rid the infection. Unfortunately, deworming medications can be obtained from your veterinarian. Fortunately, it does not tend to be an expensive medication. I would call your veterinarian and ask if they do deworming appointments or if they require a full physical exam. Hope this helps and best of luck.
