Charles I don't claim to know it all but I got my first hound pup at 12yrs old what little I know I learned by experience and readin every wormer and feed label  I came across  I've gathered good and bad information from Ole dog men One of there famous saying is It's good high protein feed LOL .The truth is if a dog isn't gettin a substantial amount of fat intake they want maintain weight if the feed is 26%protein & 8%fat in my experience it's hard to keep there weight up I try to buy feed with atleast 15% fat content . A little cookin oil a day will greatly increase the fat content or rice bran oil I've also fed (Raw meat) and bone scraps with great results . Omega fatty acids is also important for healthy skin and bones. If a dog has Whipworms it's impossible to put weight on them Valbazin and Panacur will get em but you need to worm them three days in a row at 1cc per 10pnds Zimecterin is also a good wormer but a couple guys I know  lost young dogs to overdosage and it was mixed with propylene glycole so just be carefull with it anyway maybe something I said might work for ya If it get to aggrievating you can take a stool sample to your vet and have it tested that should pinpoint if there is a worm problem. Anyways, Good luck !
