Hello, thank you for using PetCoach. I'm sorry but the photo is not clear enough when I enlarge it for me to tell much. If you are concerned about intestinal parasites then I suggest you have your veterinarian run a fecal test. Your other option would be to mail in sample to an outside lab for testing.
