That sounds odd. The only things that come to mind are tapeworm segments or something that Snowy ate like a toy or some sort of berries. Check his environment and his toys for anything that fits the description. Also you may post a photo of the orange objects. Lastly, if you suspect worms, call your veterinarian for medication. I hope this helps.
