First off i'm sorry for how crude this sounds.But my min pin has these flat worms that come out off his butt. I've tried D-Worm acouple times but it hasn't helped. I'm not sure what kind of wroms these are. I always thought the worms come out in the stool. But his don't and there still alive. Is there any other kind of stuff I can use. He hates going to the vets and the vet don't like him either. Thanks for any help.

These are tapeworms. Tapeworms are often transmitted by fleas, so check your dog for fleas and treat for fleas if you expect to get rid of the worms. Praziquantel and fenbendazole both treat tapeworms. You may be able to find a vet who will sell you some without examining your dog, or who will only require a stool sample and one of the worms, or you may be able to get some at a feed store, farm store, or over the internet.

Thank you. I'll go to the feed store today and see if they have these. Jackie
