SouthernDude asked:
My miniature schnauzer likes to sleep on my leather sofa. Lately, I noticed that when he gets up there are some kind of khaki colored rice size things where he ways sleeping. What is this? Does it come out of his pores? Please help us figure this out!

Sounds like lice or worms. Take him to the vet and get him checked out.

Those are dried tapeworm segments. They get them from eating fleas. You need to get a good dewormer from the vet, not an OTC kind. They are easy to clear up, but have a habit of coming back if you don’t get rid of the fleas.

He has worms.
When was the last time he was wormed?

It is tape worm.

Yuk!!! Take that little guy to the vet..he needs to be wormed…he may be prone to this and you’ll have to do it every few weeks… ?

If it is coming from his fur, it is likely lice. You need to take him to the vet and get him treated for it immediately.
It these rice like things are coming from his rectum, it is tape worms, and again, you need to get him dewormed.
I would also treat him for fleas if it is determined to be tape worms.
