One of my labs got them after I put 80 yards of clay and sand in my yard. The vet gave her some type of dewormer and never had the problem again. The vet thinks they were in the clay and sand.

Fleas? When a dog eats the fleas or the eggs the parasite starts to grow in their digestive tract. It's not bad if treated. A good dewormer usually knocks them out pretty quick. I've seen hookworms and tape worms in the last 2 foster dogs I had. 1 I kept. He had tape worms and they showed up 2 weeks later. That was after he was treated for a flea issue. Vet said the worms came from him eating fleas.
