:confused:

I have two dogs about 6-7 weeks old. Brothers. One is completely fine: playful and eats and acts like he should. The other... Well, sleeps a lot, nose isn't wet (as I hear they are supposed to be though "Old Wifes Tales"). But most of all that concerns me is that, some times it's stool has worm/noodle like stuff in it. What is it? And what should I do?

Please help, I love this little guy... :(

Worms.

Dog Owner's Guide: Canine worms

Take to vetinarian with stool sample.

You really need to get both them into the vet. The second ones problems may indicate far more than worms. Have they had any shots? It is possible the first is better because it got a better dose of their mother's immunity. When it wears off, it could catch what the second has.

I wouldn't trust the above site. The medical info may or may not be OK, but it is a typical kook site put up by those with an agenda. I prefer to stick to sites I know I can trust such as American Veterinary Medical Association. I have also found Woodhaven Labradors Articles usually reliable. Many of the dog info sites, that turn up on a search, have bad information. Too many people lack the knowledge to evaluate the material they find.
