The white things in Chico's stool might be tapeworms, but I doubt they would be related to a cough or stomach pain. The cough could be related to an infection like kennel cough. Collapsing trachea and heart disease would be other common causes of a cough in a dog of his breed. I think you need to have him examined by a vet as soon as you can.
