Those sound very much like round worms to me.
If there is no way that you can take your puppies to the vet for whatever reason, you can use one of the following home remedies.
1. Pick a large handful (or more) of grass that is more than about 8 inches long. Mix it with a can of dog food or raw hamburger. Make sure that the grass is coated in the food.
Feed it to your dog like that.
How it works: The hungry worms go straight for the food and get tangled/caught in the grass. The more the more they try to escape, the more tangled they get. They come out with the grass when the dog poops it out.
2. Feed the dog grease (from cooked bacon, duck, goose, etc), and/or lard.
How it works: The grease makes the dog's stomach and intestines greasy, which causes it to be very slippery for the worms. The worms have nothing to hold on to and come out in the poop. The dog may have greasy-watery poop, but the worms will be gone.

Go to the vet and buy a quality all wormer. Don't use the pet store stuff, it often doesn't work. Drontal is good and maybe pet stores where you live sell it...I'm not sure, I'm in Australia. You need to know the weight of the dogs to work out the dose rate and you need to worm all the pups. If one has worms they all have worms you just haven't seen the evidence in in other pups...yet. It would be a good idea to take the pups to the vet but you can buy the all wormer without taking the pups in. Worms can kill pups so get onto it right away. Thanks for caring and rescuing this little puppers. It was kind of you to take them in and they're safe with you.. ADD: Some people have no idea. The puppies will not be affected by heartworm at 6-8 weeks of age. They can start on heartworm meds at 3 months. No need to start them now. The worms the puppies have will be round worms.

First, you either have a Golden or a Labrador -- it might be a yellow Labrador but it isn't a Golden Labrador...
Second, it is shitting worms because it has been infested with worms... likely round worms and the puppy needs to be given a deworming medication... odds are you have not taken it to the vet yet, huh? Take it to the vet, get it wormed and its innoculations and the vet will either give you more deworming med to give it in two weeks or have you bring the puppy back in two weeks to be dewormed and rechecked. It might also have infestations of other internal/external parasites and the vet can check it and medicate as needed. At that time you can discuss alteration of the dog. Good luck...

Round worms. Get a stool sample if you can and take it to your Vet. Or, take the pup to the Vet. It needs to be wormed and soon. As long as it has this worm infestation, the pup is not getting full use of the food you are feeding it, much of it will be consumed by the worms and not digested. The pup will also feel full when it has eaten little, the worms are filling up his stomach and intestines.

is that a question or a statement?! Is it vomiting them too? have you already given the dog a wormer?
I ask because, if you have already wormed then they are being sh*t out because they are dead and are just being expelled from the dogs system. If the dog hasnt been wormed then they are still living inside the dogs digestive system and need to be killed off with an appropriate wormer. If there are lots then it may be the case that you may need to worm a second time to completely rid the dog of the parasites.

Take him to the vet.
You can try wormer over the counter from wal mart, the best kind is the liquid kind that is dark red. That seems to work I think it is around $7.
Sometimes they get worms from fleas but those are generally flat white worms and can fall out when they walk around. This may be another type of worm though.

Probably round worms. Get her into the vets to be dewormed quick. Don't use over the counter meds they dont work and they can really make your dog sick.
If the worms are that bad I would get the pup seen tomorrow at the very latest.

It is time to take your puppy to the Vet. You could go to a Farm and Feed store and get a De-Wormer, But they are not full proof. Especially if you don't do it right and follow up on it. So by all means take the pup to the Vet. Good Luck and God Bless.

You need to take the dog to the vet Pronto! Worms are very serious. It is very unhealthy. They can loose weight.
