What Are the Symptoms of Intestinal Parasites?
For many pet owners, the first telltale sign of the presence of intestinal parasites is the discovery of small white thread-like objects in the stool of the pet. Roundworms can give a pet the appearance of having a potbelly. In the case of tapeworm, segments that look like beads or grains of rice may be visible in the fur around the pet’s rectum or tail. Whipworms, on the other hand, are virtually undetectable without the aid of a microscope.
