Now keep in mind, that there are 2 types of tapeworms so, you have to make sure that the dewormer they provide you covers both.

One of the reasons your pup is not gaining is because of the tapeworms. My gosh he could very well be anemic.
thanks for the info. he could be anemic i guess, but he doesn't act like it. he doesn't fall down alot or sleep too much for his age. quite the opposite. i've been watching him for that. i keep his food out and he eats about every 3 to 4 hours on his own, and drinks alot of water. I'm sure our water bill has gone up b/c of him, LOL
