Janice, also note that alpacas can get tape worms too (usually only if
stressed), so you should probably check their stool as well if the
cats and dogs have been around their paddocks (especially Merry and
her mom). Sorry, I don't know how to treat it.

Tapeworms in dogs and cats are a different species then those see in our
alpacas. The ones in dogs and cats are usually Dipylidium which the animal gets
by ingesting and infected flea. There is no other way to get them you have
to eat the flea. Dogs are also susceptible to Taenia a tapeworm they can get
from eating wild rabbits and rodents, this is much more uncommon.
The tapeworm we see in alpacas is Moniezia and Thysaniezia which the animals
pick up while grazing in an infected pasture.
