The combination of bloody diarrhea, worms, vomiting, lethargy, and a lack of appetite, along with difficulty drinking, are concerning signs that could indicate a severe gastrointestinal issue or infection. While the dewormer might address the worms, the presence of bloody diarrhea and vomiting could suggest something more serious, such as parvovirus or another infection.

Firstly, it's important to keep your puppy hydrated. Encourage him to drink water, and you might try offering ice cubes or a small amount of low-sodium chicken broth to make it more appealing.

I also recommend isolating Callie to prevent the potential spread of infection.

Given the severity of these symptoms, I strongly recommend taking your puppy to a veterinarian as soon as possible. They can perform the necessary tests to determine the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment. Early intervention is crucial, especially with young puppies, to prevent dehydration and other complications.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
