I would really recommend taking Molly to the vet. If it's worms, the best thing to do is, just like if you think you have cancer, is to be checked out by a doctor as soon as possible to prevent any further injuries and/or death. Molly should really be checked out by a vet as soon as possible.

Hope this helps, and please paw mail me if you need anything!

Lots of Licks,

Jet

Those sound like dried tapeworm segments... kind of tannish pieces like dried rice stuck to the hair??? If so, you only need to tell the vet that is what you found and get the meds for it from them. You should also treat her for fleas since most dogs get tapeworms from injesting fleas.
