Call your vet and bring in a stool sample (You probably won't need to bring the dog - The vet will tell you) for testing. The vet will give you medication for the type of worm.
Edit - Without seeing it, we can't tell you *exactly* what kind of worm it is...Why can't you bring the dog to the vet? For worms, you don't need to even bring the dog, just it's poop to be tested.

You should definetly bring your dog to a vet now. That is very serious If you see eggs like that it means it has laid eggs in your dog and more of these worms will be in your dogs body possibly leading to heart worms .Do not feed the dog anything or let it outside only give the dog water and observe it for 12 hours and take notes on what it is doing so you can better inform the doctor.Hope that helps!

just bring a stool sample preferably with a sample of the worm. Teh vet can do a cheap and simple test and give you the correct meds needed. Over the counter stuff is a waste of money
there is no need to bring the dog in and pay for an exam.

Your dog needs to be dewormed pronto...go to your vet and get wormer that covers round worms (sounds like a round worm) and tapeworms...these are the two most common in pets. It's not a pricey thing either and will need a dose now depending on weight and in two weeks time again same dosage. You don't need to take your dog in with you to get dewormer but bring the worm in a container to show them so they make sure they give you the wormer with that treats it for sure.

Look up pictures of round worms and tape worms on the net.
If you have round worm, go to the pet store and get a wormer with Pyrantel Pamoate in it.
If you have tape worm, which is what it sounds like, you will need to get Praziquantel. This is also at the pet store. It is the otc version of what a vet uses. Tape worms shrink to the size of a grain of rice as they dry. Round worms do not shrink . Good luck!

take the dog to the vet and bring a stool sample with you, it could be as easy as getting it de-wormed or it might be as bad a surgery, hope she doesn't have heart worm too, good luck, keep in mind almost all puppys have worms

sounds like tapeworm or roundworm. both can be treated with over the counter de-worming medicine. 1800 petmeds or any such online petmed store will carry it. Or possibly petco or petsmart. You can always take him to a vet to be sure and they can give you what ever he needs.

This is most definately a tapeworm, they get these from swallowing a flea. You will have to have a special dewormer for this. Standard over the counter dewormers will not treat this. You will need to go to the vet on this one. Good luck
