Any Q

Occasionally, worms (or segments of worms in the case of tapeworms) may be seen in dog faeces. In puppies with a large roundworm burden, they may even be found in vomit. However, it usually requires laboratory testing by your veterinarian to diagnose a worm infestation as worm eggs are not visible to the naked eye.
