He needs to see a vet.. any kind of intestinal worms can still come out alive in the poop.

Black poop is ussually an indication that he is bleeding somewhere in the upper digestive tract.. he needs a vet!

Question by summer: after a dog has been wormed should the worms still be alive in his poo?
i’m fostering a dog for a rescue centre and just found a big worm in his poo, I thought she’d eaten an elastic band till it moved. Ive contact the centre to ask about worming and they said she’s been done and the worms come out alive. surly thats not right is it?

When do you pick up the poop? The worms may have arrived AFTER the stool was laid. Also, a dog doesn’t just get dewormed once, make sure she isn’t overdue.

I know about:
roundworms:If a roundworm burden is heavy, a dog may vomit these worms or pass them (whole) in the stool. Roundworms can cause vomiting and diarrhea. check for those.

Hookworms: Hookworms cannot be seen by the naked eye, This parasite has also been known to cause chronic intestinal bleeding, abdominal pain and diarrhea in small children. Some dogs experience significant weight loss, bloody diarrhea, or failure to grow properly. Skin irritation and itching, especially of the paws

Check into all the signs, and if you’re still concerned take a stool sample to your vet. The rescue center should cover the medical bills.
