The adult tapeworms produce proglottids that mature, detach, and migrate to the anus and are then passed in the feces.
How long does it take for tapeworms to hatch?
Larvae hatch from eggs in one to six days given appropriate environmental conditions (a relative humidity between 50 percent and 92 percent).
How long do tapeworms stay in dogs?
Paralyzed worms pass through the intestinal tract and are passed out in your puppy's poop. This is why you will notice that your puppy poops worms after deworming. This may continue for three days or even longer. Be careful to dispose of your dog's excrement properly to get rid of any worm eggs and larvae.
