Hi all - what am I dealing with here? I've got ACV in the water (two days) now, but I think I am going to need something much stronger. I really need some advice. Thank you!Thanks!

Looks like fly eggs laid on the poop.

I wish it was that simple, but this was laid fresh outside this morning.

Tapeworm segments are a possibility as well.

It might be tapeworm segments. I would look at more droppings though. Tapeworms usually respond more to praziquantel which is found in droncit tablets from a vet or Equimax Horse Wormer in many feed stores. Zimecterin Gold can also be used but the dosage is different. I would get back to you about dosages. You may want to get a fecal float by taking some droppings into your vet to confirm the tapes. Here is a video that shows tapeworm segments moving about in a dropping:
