Help in identifying wormsQ: Dear doctor, while cleaning up after my 8-month old dog, i noticed a long spaghetti-like worm in his stool. what is the difference between whipworm, roundworm and hookworms and what is the best med. for him? thanks lots!! julia A: All are different types of worms but all can cause similar signs of diarrhea or vomitingor weight loss etc. rounds and hooks can be treated with med like nemex from;1800petmeds. whips usually need panacure. also monthly heartworm meds such as interceptor can prevent all 3 worms. i suspect roundworms given age and your description
