There may be some tapeworm segments there. You usually cannot see most other worms, unless it is a large roundworm. There can be worm eggs, but you would need to get a fecal float or use a microscope. What did you use for worming and the dosage you used? Valbazen or fenbendazole (SafeGuard, Panacur) are best for most worms. For tapeworms, I would use a wormer with praziquantel, such as Droncit, Drontal tablets, or horse pastes such as Equimax or Zimectrin Gold. If you need a dosage for a specific wormer, let us know.

Would this be a better option?? I don’t think I’ll be able to give them liquid medicine orally.. they get a little crazy.

That's exactly what I use. Eggcessive will say no though.
How do you dose them? Am i supposed to put it in their food? Or feed them individually so I know they get the full dose? I’m sorry for the silly questions lol I’m still learning

I know it isn’t best, but I wet their food and mash it up and then add the dewormer (if you don’t they’ll pick at it) you want it to be uniform so that they have to eat it. As far as dosing I’m not sure. There is a thread somewhere hear about it, let me find it. If at all possible it would be best if you get the liquid stuff. You maybe could just add the liquid stuff into wettened mashed food that way you don’t have to force it down them. There are no silly questions!!!

If your only concern for not using the liquid is just because you don’t want to have to force it down them, I think you should get the liquid and add it to their food. Assuming there is a reason why you can’t do that (I’m not sure) the reason why I use the pellets because I can’t afford the liquid. I already have the pellets on hand (so free) and a bottle of the liquid is $50.
