Round Worms

[Emmdano]

my sq Riggs has what I think are round worms (long white worm with white fluid inside) I saw one near his tail pulled it thinking it was a string and broke it off the rest looks like it went back in.. I called Jackie but get ahold of her and dont know what meds I need to treat him
