Parasites are certainly a common cause of poor body condition in puppies. If you think that this might be the case, have a fecal sample analyzed at your veterinarian. I would be suspicious of this if you have been seeing any diarrhea, soft stool with/without blood, etc. If not and you can not make it to the vet, giving another dewormer is not likely to cause any harm. If this is not the cause of the poor body condition, a veterinary work up would definitely be required to assess the situation.
