What do dog tapeworms do when they attach to to small intestine of a dog?

When dog tapeworms attach to the small intestine of a dog, they use their specialized hooks and suckers to firmly adhere to the intestinal wall. Once attached, they absorb nutrients from the dog's digested food, which can lead to malnutrition and various gastrointestinal issues. The tapeworms also reproduce, releasing segments filled with eggs, which can be expelled in the dog's feces, potentially infecting other animals or humans. This parasitic relationship can result in health problems for the infected dog if left untreated.

White stool in dogs?

If there are white specks in the stool, these are tapeworms. The dog should be taken to the vet for a deworming treatment. Once the treatment is given, you will probably still see them for a couple of days, these are dead. You should examine the poo in order to check if the worms are moving. If the whole thing is white, the dog has been chewing on bones...its calcium. It's also very dry, right? Give lots and lots of water.
