At first I thought these were bits of plant root, as she has often passed before - thats what they looked like at first glance. However, on closer examination they were like bloated maggots/little caterpillars. Some were orange, some red and some white. They were not moving so I assume they were dead ( I did poke them to make sure). I am wondering if my dog has eaten something with these in it and passed them straight through..... There were a lot of them - about 6 in each of the 4 segments of stool.
Can anyone advise me? I have looked at the common worm infections - the pictures and descriptions of heartworm, hookworm, tapeworm, roundworm and whipworm and they do not fit the description of any of these. My dog is behaving absolutely normally in every other way - fighting fit, running around and healthy appetite.
She is fed on Eukanuba only.
The only thing I can think of is she sometimes eats cowpats on our walks.
Has anyone got any advice or opinions to help me please?
