Take them to a vet for a fecal float and for a de-worming.

I rescued two bull frogs from my biology lab earlier this year and I just discovered that they may have parasites. However, I have never seen the parasites in their tank before until now. The only difference that I have changed in their environment was to feed them crickets. Since the new cricket diet I have noticed but only once that there were parasites in their habitat. After I stopped feeding them the crickets I have not seen the worms. I know that parasites can still be in their digestive tract. Do I need to take them to a veterinarian or can I purchase de-wormer over the counter?

Which type of parasite do they have?
I'm not sure exactly what type but they seemed to be in between pin worms and roundworms but small. I was bleaching out their aquarium with bleach and the worms were not dying in fact they were still moving which means that they survived already in the digestive tract within the acid after they have been transferred from the crickets.
Fenbendazole will kill them.
Thanks for your help. I am going to look for where I can find this but it seems that I better go to Vet.
Your vet should have it.
