Re: Our Dog Has Dog Poo Snails?

We've recently bought another dog that we got from a rescue place on a farm, and he had a bad stomach when he got to us (initially we thought it was just nerves or change of diet, but now we're not so sure).

Any ideas?
Sorry, I can't be much help - I've not heard of anything like this. Whatever they are, it sounds horrid! I would be taking the dog to the vet if it were me, along with a sample of the critter, carefully gathered into a plastic bag without touching it or the poo!!
