Carol found somthing on our dog Ellie. At first it looked like a piece of white cheese… then it started to move. OK, that’s a parasite. YUCK!!! Carol, thinks it may be a tape worm. I took a few pics and emailed them to my sister in Cali. She’s a veterinarian… she’ll know what it is. For the time being, it’ll stay in a small zip-lock style baggie.
On the farm, the dogs like to ‘snack’ on poop, so we’re not surprised that the may pick up a critter or two.
Ellie's Tape Worm
My sister contacted us… Yep! It’s a tape worm – at least it’s part of one. She referred to it as a tape worm segment. – Thanks Sis.
Our blog is to inform and entertain you as we pursue our goal of starting a small, west-central, MN family farm.
