Pet's info: Dog | Miniature American Shepherd | Male | neutered | 7 months and 6 days old | 25 lbs
My dog recently took a poop and I went to pick it up right aaay and I found what looks like a worm? Maggot like? My vet is closed and reopens at 8am but I am worried. Should I be taking him ASAP? He just got neutered 4 days ago so he’s been more tired then he usually is ...

Hello. Please do not panic. This is not a maggot & it has nothing to do with his surgery. Just have Kip examined by your vet tomorrow, & bring this little sample with you. He will be fine until then. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
