I am sorry that your pet hasn't been eating well. There can be all sorts of reasons for inappetance unfortunately. And it seems our photo of his stool did not come through. If it doesn't look like a worm, then it may be a foreign object that Brady has ingested. If he has not eaten for more than 24 hrs or has any other symptoms to speak of, then a vet visit may be best here to have him fully evaluated. Feel free to repost your question with a photo and we will glady review this to give you further insight.
