It looks like the two poos are indeed some part digested food and a worm segment of some kind. The poor thing is very thin hopefully he will pick up eating again in the next few days and with the parasites knocked back will be much improved. Keep us informed.

I would also make sure the other fish in the tank have eaten some wormer to prevent infection spreading again. Also over the next couple of weeks keep extra vigilant on the water changes, partially digested food will mess with parameters and clean wtare helps the healing process

Would be a good idea to give at least two more follow-up doses in the next few weeks. Otherwise you may risk re-infection. Make sure to only do them after a large water change though.

Dosing the tank is a total waste of meds. FW fish do NOT drink water. You must soak his foods in it, for it to work.
