Take a stool sample to your vet for testing. Parasites such as coccidia and giardia are not treated with a general dewormer and require a specific medication. Your vet should also palapte his hips and possibly take an xray to determine why he is having problems sitting or standing. He could have hip dysplasia or another orthopedic issue. Hope he feels better soon.
