I suggest you buy a complete puppy food for medium sized dogs from a better dogfood company. I like to feed Hill's, Iams, Royal Canin or Purina as these are scientifically tested. You may want to worm her anyway, as by the time there are worms in her poop, she would be severely infected with worms. Normally you would not see worms in poop, even if the dog has worms. If your puppy still does not gain weight when eating the above food, then you should have Tassie examined by your veterinarian, as there may be a metabolic or intestinal condition that prevents your puppy from gaining weight or thriving.
