It's a ascaris. We call them Spulwurm. Don't know what medicine you have we use Banminth from Pfizer.
They are ugly, aren't they?
Oh, and a good morning to all!!

I was hoping it wasnt worms, but dont feel bad for not knowing sooner...how were u to know. Hey even humans walk around with worms and have no idea...mmmmm sushi anyone?? Ur a better person than i am....i cant even stand looking at a magot without getting nausous. Good luck again

they are all getting dewormed just in case anyways.

for sure he has worms and has had them for awhile... I feel terrible for not noticing, but I have such a big yard where they can do their business and with all the snow I never took a good look for worms... even when I picked it up I didn't notice anything, but she was confident without even seeing the picture that it was worms. Because he had parvo they didn't do the booster and therefore she is sure it's worms...

SO.... I'm skipping school to take all three of them to MY vet which is an hour and half away (i'm hoping they can get me in), but the other are due in a couple of weeks for thier annual visit so we are going to go early and get everyone up-to-date and healthy...then I have to rush back for a wedding shower (i'm the bridemaid) at 2pm.

I'm so new to all this stuff...you'd think I'd know something was wrong! I feel so bad.

to the Vet. Better safe than sorry.

Frankie had this when she was a puppy...but she poo-ed it out.
I don't remember them being very big or that many though.
Are they soft? I would say of they are not stiff and solid looking, it's not a root.

a big deal to treat though. My Bully had them but it was before they matured so I never had to see what you saw. I feel for you, I couldn't deal with that. Good luck!

Oh NO! My fear has come true... except I don't know which one it is... i'm guessing the foster puppy.

If I were a betting man, I'd bet those are Round Worms, even though I've never seen them thrown up before, only in poop. It should't be anything a good dose of Ivomec will not cure. I would definitely worm all my dogs or at the very least have them checked for worms. They may also have Tape Worms which are much harder to get rid of, since they are transmitted by fleas. Rond Worms can be picked up from the soil in your yard.

so you could see the picture I saw. Otherwise go into yahoo, search images and type in roundworms or go to www.the petcenter.com and look up worms.

good one!

Kind of looks like pieces of a wicker basket?

Whatever they are - yuck! At least if they are worms, they're usually really easy to treat. Let us know. . .

let us know.

I dont know much about worms but i thought they are found in the intestines where they attach to the intestine wall. Since we are being gross, hows the poop look, anything in there?

"they look like dandylion stems" lol. I said well since we are in March I don`t think so. so do you have dandy lions there??

but my mom figured they were still kind of stiff, but to touch were squishy?? I don't - the more I look, I don't think they are roots, but I know nothing about plants either?? they were playing in the yard when it happened so it could easily have been something in the yard...but then we were thinking if they were digging up roots, they would be broken and these have distinct pointy ends on them??? I guess we'll find out at the vets tomorrow (hopefully).

worms would be flat to the paper towel. now if they were dried and hard then I`d say worms, so I`m gonna stick with roots. PLEASE let us know what the vets come up with.

super gross!

I was thinking roots too, but there are no sprouts and both ends are the same...like a worm... my mom did he poop pick up today and nothing in it that she noticed?

I have never seen worms so I cant help but they are gross. Are they moving? Kinda like a cross between those chinese noodle things and plant roots.

I thought if a dog had worms they pooped them out?

Hope you find out what they are.
