Is it a pill or some kind of solution? Should they give him Danacur? They want to do a stool sample for 36.50. What kind of process Is my pup going to go through?

Tannya, I merged this thread with the finding-the-worm thread. Unless it's actually a new topic, you don't need to start a new thread for each development. Just FYI. One reason it's better for you is that a reader can follow the whole story back and give much more informed answers. (Some of us, after years of posting answers, no longer have the time or fortitude to look up the poster's former threads and piece them together -- espacially a thread called, say, "This is frustrating," because there is no hint about the topic. )
This isn't to pick on you at all; it's to your benefit.

I would also take a stool sample in since you mentioned something that "looked like a grain of rice". This is more than likely a tapeworm which I believe will require a different medication after it is verified.
Make sure you take a good size sample in. My Mal had tapes that were missed due to a smaller sample, we waited her out while I was there, got a larger one and VOILA, there the little buggers were.

Take your pup out to potty on Friday and have a ziplock handy, pick up his deposit and take it with you. That way the pup does not have to go through the discomfort of having a sample taken at the vet.

Oh, yeah, it's really only gross. It's not scary unless the pup is never treated.
I had a rescued adult with roundworms once. My first glimpse was quite stunning. I actually gasped and kind of felt dizzy when I saw this worm that was longer than the poop. So I feel for you!
Dogs make you immune to stuff like that really fast.
Panacure does NOT do tapes. Yes the rice like segments are tapes and the others are rounds. Go to your vet and let them give you somthing, I prefer Drontal myself. Anyway don't freak out, It's not a major deal. Just take care of it when you next can.

Oh My God!!!!!! I saw one 4-inch roundworm in his stool!!!!!! and a one segment(looks like a grain of rice). I think they are call Tapeworms!!!! He is 5 weeks and 2 days old. Should I take him to a vet to give him the pill! He seems active, a very playful puppy. I was planning to take him to the vet on Friday, which he'll be 6 weeks, and that's what I read here...Please let me know what I should do?!
Yes, you could call the vet tomorrow and drop off a sample. Have you actually seen tapeworm segments before?
But anyway, I think Panacur treats both. The puppy experts will have more detail, I am sure. :> I don't think you should be upset. I think it's common.
I called 2 places for De worming my pup!!!! 1 said it was fine to bring him in, the other tells me no he is to young! Then I explain to her if it's best for me then to wait? Will I hurt him if I wait till he's 8 weeks like she said? She seem so busy she couldn't even hear me! She was multitasking from what I heard in the background. I asked her again so i should wait? She ended the conversation with "....do what ever you want OK ?" I ask for her name.
Once again, those anyone no someone who they can refer me too?
I live in San Fernando Valley, City of Woodland Hills, CA.
I just depends on what is used to deworm them. It's not too soon for the right dewormer.
Intestinal worms are not a big deal, it's easy to treat. Some clinics won't dispense dewormer with out a fecal exam, but I've looked at many, many, fecal samples under the microscope and if what your saying is accurate you do have at least rounds and tapes. Whatever they give you for rounds should get everything else but tapes usually. And don't be alarmed when there are a bunch of worms in your dogs stool after the deworming. It's supposed to do that!
