Take the fecal to another vet. It only takes a few minutes for them to determine if Spike has parasites. Seeing he is already debilatated they need to be very careful with the wormers. Hopefully Panacur would do the trick as it is probably the easiest on the system. Worming also dehydrates them so you have to watch fluid levels. Make sure you have his weight also.
Good Luck.
