So its 4 am and I went to fish some poop out of my tigers water dish and put it and the net in a bowl of water so i could clean everything tomorrow and as I look closer I see several tiny worms. They are white and roundish. What should I do? He hasn't been eating because he just went through metamorphosis (6 days since he has eaten) Is there an at home treatment? Or do I need to dip into the college fund and take him to a vet?
P.S. He was wild. Parents found him on a 4-wheeling trip. Brought him home to me...
Help would be extremely nice.
Fingers crossed that I don't throw myself into a panic attack!

I added a picture of one of the worms

Are you sure they're not worms from the tank? Microfauna in the tank is common, normal, and healthy.

That being said, all wild animals probably have parasites of some sort. I have never wormed any of my wild-caught specimens. The not eating is from morphing. That's quite common. Just keep offering food as normal. Try different foods: earthworms, waxworms, crickets, etc.
