I think it's a sign that Rocky has worms, which is not exactly good! While the black walnut may have led to you seeing the worms in the stool it is not a dewormer and there are likely worms left in Rocky's gastrointestinal tract. It would be best to have Rocky's stool tested by your vet to determine what type of worms are present and recommend treatment. You could also try a broad spectrum dewormer that contains fenbendazole but it might not cover some worms.
