Your poor pup could have any number of things going on. If you have access to a vet he needs to see one right away. At the very least you need to get a safe dewormer that will kill tapeworms (praziquantel). He may have such a large infestation that it could kill him without treatment, or he may have some other major illness going on also, like Parvovirus or Distemper. Good luck!
