I have a redbone that is around five or six. That's a hard keeper. No matter how much I feed him he still looks bad. I use ivomek wormer. But don't know what the deal is.
Any tips or advise?
Thanks in advance.

Gotta use some other products as well to take care of some other parasites that ivermectin dont get, chl on dogs weight and try fennendazole 3 days in a row  1cc / 10 pounds.

Hope this help.

Get him some pyrantel too, but let me ask what you have him on? I have one who has eaten 4 quarts of victor per day(16cups, yup you read that right) and still looked poor always. We eventually figured out that his body doesn't process the nutrition from the victor and tried him on cheapo diamond. He eats 1.5 qts per day now and I have to scale him back occasionally

I have a couple of dogs like that. I was using blackgold. Vet said to switch food. I did and they look great now. I switched to diamond.

I would change wormer and gradually change is feed. I use the valbazen with ivomectrin mixed in it and have had good luck with it. If that doesn't work might try him on a meat diet if you can afford it.

might want to change wormers, May have a type of worm that the wormer doesnt get.  Just because you use "wormer" doesnt mean its gonna kill the worms you have.  Feeding 4 lbs a day to a dog is more than enough to put weight on him.  Something else is going on.

I have one that is that way, feed the crap out of her and skinny all the time, tried lower protein food, she put on weight better but didn't have the same energy level. I put her back on my regular food which is diamond and started top dressing hers with wheat germ oil, has worked real well for her. I don't think i could ever get her fat but she sure looks better. Just food for thought, really tough thing to guess @ from this side of the screen.

My old gal raises a few reg bullterrier pups to  sale and she always feeds her momma dogs scrambled eggs to help them maintain weight why suckin several pups. They stay fit and fat and recover  alot better. Used this on a collie that stayed busy all the time . After a good shot of wormer and about two weeks of scrambled eggs and his normal feed he  came around pretty well. pretty cheap way to get extra protien But only thing is having to cook them all the time
