What could worms in my dogs bed be?

Shot on an early morning stroll around Wallingford’s old castle grounds. I always find it tough getting myself out of bed so early on the weekends to go and catch the early light, but usually find it’s worth it! There’s also something to be said for having such stunning landscape all to yourself at that time of the day. Apart from the odd dog-walker of course…
Question by sabres.rock: What could worms in my dogs bed be?
I came home from school and there were some tiny worms in my dogs bed and a few around it. i have determined this could be the only source of sed worms. Im just not sure if its coming from my dog, or her bed. She is a 13 year collie if that helps. The worms were roughly the size of 2 grains of rice put together the long way and they are white/clear. thank you for all you can offer

This sounds like tapeworm. I would take a stool sample to your Vet so you can get the proper treatment for the worms. If it is tapeworm, she will also need treatment for fleas, as this is where tapeworm originates.

your dog has tapeworms
to get rid of them you can either take her to the vet and tell them that she has the tape worms
or
you can go to a local feed store (for example: tractor supply) and get the medicine there

TRUST ME IT WORKS
info: they get the tape worm from fleas if they ingest a flea or fleas then they will get the tape worm, then segments of the tapeworm will come out of the butt area
I thought my dog just had regular worms until I did a little research then i noticed it was the tapeworm, but i was giving her the worm medicine for large roundworms and the other kind of worms but it didn’t help so don’t try that.
THE ONLY WAY TO GET RID OF THE TAPE WORM IS THE VET OR THE TAPEWORM MEDICINE.
GOOD LUCK.
HOPE I HELPED
