The worm you will see in feces are usually round worms. Occassionally you will see pin worms that not that easily. Round worms are long i.e. 2 to 3 inches or more, white almost flat looking worms. Literally, they almost look like white earth worms but not quite. If you see a large wad of these woms that dog is so seriously infested it may not live much longer. Hookworms and pin worms, as a rule, have to be diagnosed by a vet with a fecal test. Round worms are one of the easiest worms to clear up with a dose of Pyrantal Pamolate which is found in several different brands such as D-Worm, RFD, and Lassie. It should be dosed according to the weight of the dog, so be sure and weight the dog first. once the weight is determined then follow label directions and mark it on the calendar and dose the dog again in 10 days and again in another 10 days. For puppies this schedule should be continued until they are 5 months old. For older dogs the series of 3 should clean their systems for about 90 days and then they need to be wormed again in a series of 2 10 days apart. Worms are the single largest killer of puppies, so seeing even one of the nasty critters in the feces is cause for alarm and needs to be addressed immediately.
