Worms in feces!

[MsCarter]

Good afternoon all,
So I have been suspecting a parasite in my little girl for a few weeks now. Her poo has just always been super smelly and inconsistent. Sometimes it's hard, other times it more on the runny side. So I went ahead and made a vet appointment for the 16th of this month (which is the soonest appointment they could do). Well last night my suspicions were proven to be right, I noticed worms in her poo! I didn't panic simply because I assumed it was pin worms. However, today I'm more convinced it may actually be tape worm
The worms are white, small, and flat. Does this sound like tapeworm to those of you that have any experience with this?
Also, does anyone have any advice on how I could clean her veggies that would eliminate any parasite that could be on them? I always buy from grocery stores (nothing is picked from outside) and I do wash them in water before giving them to her, however I read that parasites and eggs can still be on some veggies even after this. What can I do?
Thanks so much

I'd keep the vet appointment to test a sample as there may be more than one parasite. The types of parasites will dictate which meds are prescribed, but they tend to be pretty effective at treatment. In the meantime I'd just keep her well hydrated and sanitize areas she poops in as thoroughly as possible using a steam cleaner or some F10SC disinfectant. It also may be helpful to spray her bum with some Vetericyn after she goes if you can get it. Taking these measures will help prevent reinfection once treatment begins.

Thank you so much. I will definitely do all of this. So far she is still eating like a champ, and though she isn't as active as she normally is I don't see a major decrease in her energy levels. So hopefully things don't take a turn for the worst.
Thank you for your response
