It is important to remember that not every parasite is treated with the same medication. Since you are still seeing worms in Fez's stool, I recommend taking a stool sample to his vet so that it can be microscopically evaluated with a fecal flotation test. Based on these results, your vet will be able to prescribe the most effective dewormer for the parasite(s) present.
