Worm on my redfoot.

I brought her from importer one month ago.

I don't know what kind a worm in my redfoot. How to help him? I already bring my redfoot to the vet. And get deworm. One week after, I still see the worm alive from my redfoot poop.

Here's the video.

What should I do?

The usual de-worming regimen is to administer the medication one day, then again in 10 days. I'd say your tortoise is due for more medicine.

Medications against worms do not kill the worm's eggs.

The worms will come back when the eggs hatch in the body.

Call the vet's office.

Correct.
The 2nd dose is to kill the newly hatching worms and end the life cycle

Agree with above. One dose will not do it.

Why in the h*LL is it red

It looks like perhaps whatever you fed her has worked as a dewormer. I understand that there are many plants and seeds that can work like this.

I already give her second dose of deworm. I saw death worm (long worm) but different with the worm I saw before (small worm) .

Now she didn't want to eat, but she still want to drink.

I always soak her in the water morning and afternoon to keep her in hydration.

Should I give her 3rd dose?

If the live worms are different from the ones the doctor identified, the medication may not work. Take a fresh sample of the live worms for evaluation.

I heard pumpkin is a natural dewormer, specifically the seeds. Might be wrong for tortoises but for animals like our horses, goats and pigs it is. Can't hurt, mine loves pumpkin anyway

Now I see the progress. She want to eat again. Still little bite but that's good sign.

The poop are good, not liquid again.

Thank you for your support guys. ??
