Hi and thanks for posting on Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This looks to me like some sort of rope, string, or stringy fabric. It doesn't appear like intestinal worms but I think I'd need to see it up close to get a better idea. You may want to save it and have your vet look at this in person and perhaps take a fresh fecal sample with you so your veterinarian can test for intestinal worms just to make sure.
