My puppy still has worms and diarrhea after deworming. What's wrong?

Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Male | unneutered | 6 months old | 48 lbs

Hello. My dog/6 months old husky/ had worms a month ago. I gave him pill and he threw some worms out but not in 36 hours as my vet said but in 4 days. 10 days later he had 8 epileptic seizures. I took him to vet clinic. They took blood for test and everything was okay. 14 days after the first pill I gave him another as the vet said. He started throwing more worms and now it has been 6 days since I gave him the pill and the diarrhea with worms is not stopping. What is happening with him?

It could be that Max has a severe infestation with worms, and that is why you keep seeing worming in his feces. I would give him a third deworming treatment in 14 days after the second one. Should he still continue to have worms after this third treatment, then I would have him seen by a vet.
