If you see short, rice-like worms in Kilo's stools or around his anus, then these are likely tapeworms. A simple medication like praziquantel will kill the worms living in his GI tract, but it doesn't prevent him from getting re-infected with worms. The most common cause of reinfection is secondary to fleas, so Kilo also needs to be on a good-quality flea preventative. https://www.petcoach.co/article/tapeworms/
