We have a pecan business and she may have gotten them from the boley pile she likes to play in. Will they hurt her? Should I take her to a vet. There were probably ten or fifteen in it tonight. Sometimes she likes to eat the crushed pecans on the floor of the barn...thats the only place i can think she may have gotten them.
Thanks for you info.

If the dog had eaten weevils, then they would be dead when they came out and, in fact, digested so you would not even recognise them.
So....It sounds like it could be tapeworm to me. The whole worm is segmented and bits break off of it and come out in the poop. The segments are small and white and sometimes move. They can look a bit like cucumber seeds or rice (if they've dried out).
You will need to get a wormer for her - an allwormer would be best but a tapewormer would do the trick. Do her now and again in 6 weeks time.
Tapeworms generally come from fleas so make sure you flea her with a GOOD treatment such as Frontline or Advantage. Once you have her on the good flea stuff, you can cut your worming back to once every 3 months.

Are you sure they are weevils dogs can get infected with bots. And they look similer. I would get her to a vet on a non holiday. Unless she looks very ill.

Are you sure it was weevils and not intestinal worms? You might want to consider a de-wormer. If she ate weevils I would think they'd digest.

you should probably take her to a veterinarian, just to make sure.
