OK so having a puppy means I don't have time like I used to for immediate poop pickup since my pup keeps trying to chase the poop bag or trying to bite my ankles or hands while picking up poop. I noticed the last few days that when picking up poop that's 4+ days old there's lotsa lil fat white wormy/maggoty type things crawling around inside the poop, you can't see em until you go to pick up the poop n the poop starts to break up, they're disgusting lil things n I really hope they didn't come from eggs that were inside my dogs poop? It's both in the pups and the 2 year olds poop, but doesn't show up in fresh ones. I'm assuming it's stuff that got laid there by flies or some other creature after the poop was already deposited on my lawn, but I'd like some input just to be sure...
If this is something that doesn't come FROM my dogs, then is this something my dogs can get infested with?? I poured alcohol over the ones I saw in the grass in hopes of killing them before my dogs get the opportunity to ingest them, but my puppy poops some 8+ times a day so I'm sure there's plenty of lil turds around the yard that have these things crawling in them. Is this normal? Or should I be concerned about it? I'd never noticed them before because I've always picked up Cujo's poop immediately, I've just started to get lazy lately. Especially with my young pup it has me concerned about her getting worms of some nature.
