You really should take a sample of her stool to the vet.
Arbitrarily dosing with OTC wormer is not effective and if you don't know what it is, why treat it? Not all tapeworms expelled with stool move, and they usually dissolve when exposed to the air. The wormer for tapeworms is also different from the chemicals used for other worms,
Also, are you sure she didn't ingest something else, food or other, that could have not been digested and is now in her stool?

I would take a fecal sample into your vet so you know what you are treating. Buying an over the counter dewormer may not take care of the parasites you are seeing. So instead of wasting your money on a dewormer that won't work get one from a professional that will

did you recognize what breed/breeds your canines is? that is a aspect to what colour your canines's fur is. also, she may no longer have organic white fur. A canines's weight-help plan can also impact how luxury or vivid a canines's coat is. you could favor to look at the style of nutrition that you're feeding her. There also are forte canines shampoos that objective in on softening a canines's coat or bringing out its organic shine. those are, for sure, all suitable.

Possibly worms. Contact a vet.

I haven't heard of worms like this. It could just be something he has eaten and it is passing thru. Wait a day or so and see if it stops.

Take the dog and a sample of the poop to a vet just to be safe.

He could have worms but if they are not moving he could have eaten something papertowel does not disolve quickly
