I have noticed orange seed like items in my new puppy's bedding. What are they?
Full Question:
I have an eight week old male brussels and have noticed orange seed like items in his bedding every morning for the past 4 days. He has been wormed at 3 weeks and I haven't noticed him with any since but these "seeds" are very perplexing. What are they? 
Cindy's Answer:
If they look like rice grains it's possible they are dried up tape worm segments, take one into your vet to be sure.
Tapeworms are not killed with regular all purpose wormer & they are carried by fleas. If your pup does have tapeworms, you'll need to treat for fleas as well.
Your vet can advise you on this.
