My dog's poop looks like worms. What should I do and who to call?

Those look like worms but a saturated, chewed up string toy could be mistaken. The two worms most commonly seen in the stool are roundworms and tapeworms. I recommend to collect this stool sample (worms included) and call your veterinarian. They may allow you to drop off the stool sample for testing or they may need to see Junie. Different wormers are used for different species and roundworms can infect humans as well so it’s important to know what they are. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions.
