Answer
Hello Charles
He/she has round worms it sounds like it.  If it is too ill, you cannot worm it now, u must get a vet.  If I tell you to worm it and it dies, I would feel so badly.
I worm my dogs every month with zimectrin horse wormer, they are always worm free.
Please call a vet Monday and get it there they have ways of giving meds that will kill the worms and not the dog. It always says on the wormers, never worm an ill dog, so I am not going to tell you to do this, but I will tell you to worm it every month if u get through this.
The round worms are in the ground on poop etc.  They lay eggs and its a merry go round, u must worm monthly.
