Does my dog have worms?

My mum's godmother had them a really long time ago—65 years back—and she nearly died.

My dog isn't ill and she isn't scratching, but this is what it might be: *Echinococcus* is a worm that's passed on to dogs when they eat infected animals. The dog then sheds the eggs in their poo but doesn't actually get sick. However, if a human accidentally ingests them, this parasite causes a serious illness that can be fatal.

Thanks everyone, yeah, I hadn't thought of worm eggs; that must be it since they aren't moving, yuck! I use Milbemax which I get from the vet. I'm going to worm her first because as it's been two months already, it might not have been effective, and I'll see if that works. But if it doesn't work with Milbemax, I'll follow your advice Natchris. Either way, when I go to buy the wormer, I'll mention it to my vet.
