Question: Hello Dr. Dym This Morning I Noticed A White Small Worm Moving In My Dog Stool, By The Time I Decided To Put It Into A Plastic Container, It No Longer Was Moving. What Type Of Worm Could It Be Or Could It Be Something Else? On Your Website, It States No Need For Prescription But Must Get Treated Immediately. Can You Please Recommend Medication For 60 Pounds? He Is Treated With Heart Worm Medicine Monthly. About 2 Months Ago, He Ate 2 Or 3 Pieces Of Contaminated Raw Beef Meat From Outdoors, Could This Had Cause This Problem? How Can My Dog Get Worms. Can Giving Dog Treats Create This Problem As Well, I Give Him Dried Chicken/duck Treats, Beef Tender Strips And Pedigree Dental Treats.he's Not Due To See His Vet Until July 20, And I Prefer Not To Wait Till Than. Please Provide Information And Thank You.
