I recommend to call Leo’s veterinarian and let them know that you saw a worm. They may recommend for another exam or to bring in a stool sample to test for parasites. Dogs can have different types of worms and parasites and not all of them are visible to the human eye. It is not uncommon for pets to have multiple types of worms and parasites as well. Some of these worms can be passed to humans which is why you need to know the parasite status and make sure that he gets appropriate treatment. Also, he is not finished with his vaccine boosters yet. Puppies will get vaccines every 2 to 4 weeks until they are 16 weeks of age. At that point the immune system is mature and they will get their final set of vaccines then. It is very important to make sure that you get all of the needed boosters to ensure a healthy immunity. I hope this helps.
