Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry Bear is having problems. Worming puppies properly involves multiple doses to clear out as many of the parasites as possible. The wormers kill the adult worms but then over a 2-3 week period, the immature stages can migrate into the gut again, so repeated treatments are needed. So worms may be causing this problem or many other things including a food change (too rapid), dietary indiscretion (eating things he is not supposed to eat), foreign bodies, infections, etc. It's best to have your vet evaluate Bear again and decide what tests or treatment that he may need to help clear up the problem. I hope he gets better soon.
