Thank you for the picture, it's very helpful. That looks like a roundworm. Jessie needs a deworming treatment, I recommend Drontal or Panacur. Give her a dose of Drontal or Panacur now, then another in two weeks. After that, she should get the medication once a month to prevent further issues with worms. I hope this helps!

Pictures can be deceiving and a sample submitted to your vets office would be most accurate but this looks like a long, thin roundworm. I recommend treating with an oral deworming tablet suitable for his age and size
