There are some types of G.I. parasites that do not respond to routine deworming, even with panacur. Also it could indicate an issue with his intestinal tract. If your veterinarian has not done so already doing a fecal exam to check for those abnormal parasites would be the next step. Another option might be to try him on a food trial and see if a diet with either a different protein and/or fiber content would be helpful.
