What are these 'wormy' things?

I'm not sure what this is. I was laying in bed and Lu Lu (a 5 yr old Boston Terrier female) was snuggled against me as usual. I felt 'something' on me and when I picked it off, it was 'gummy feeling'. I checked Lu Lu's bottom and sure enough, after JUST having been wormed in the late part of May, there was something pink colored (light pink?) and flat wiggling out. Grooossss! What kind of worm is this and shouldn't the wormer at the vet have taken care of this? I'm a new 'dog' person. I have always had cats. lol

Those are Tapeworm, You need to take Lulu Belle back to the vet for special worming meds. You're right, they are gross and not good for your dogs healrh.

They are easily taken care of, but if you still have cats be aware that they can harbor tapeworms too, so I would have them treated as well.

Thank you all for your responses. So appreciated. I just put this on today and already a response. Wow, how neat. Most of the other message boards I'm reading and replying to are not so active. This is going to be a great group, I can tell. Thanks again so much and I'm taking Lu Lu to the vet tomorrow.
*special note from Lu Lu -- Thank you all. My mommy saved me from Death Row and I hate to go away again so soon after being saved. Woof thanks!*
