My dog pooped a stiff, spaghetti-like worm. Is it a dead roundworm?

Question

My pup pooped out what appeared to be a spaghetti noodle but it’s some kind of worm. The worm was pretty stiff after it was picked out if the poop. What kind of worm is this and is it dead? My dog just took her prescribed medication for worms this morning and her worm poop was around 4:30pm. I was told she has 2 kinds of worms she was born with. What can i do? Added a picture of worm.

It looks like Layla has roundworms. They look like strings of spaghetti. I can't say if it's dead or not, but if it's stiff, it sounds like it's dead. If you gave her a deworming treatment, it appears it is working. Give her another one in two weeks to kill all the worms. I hope this helps.
