Eating feces, has NOTHING to do with worms. There are several posts on the DB about poop eating.

Have a fecal exam done to see if he has worms, an if so which ones. Then choose a worming schedual best suited to rid them of it.

I would stop panacur right away. I agree that poo eating isnt connected to the worming regime, but in the past we have found panacur here in the uk has had a detrimental effect on young puppies. One breeder lost her litter !!!
Drontal puppy is my chosen method, and I have never had any pups with ill effects. Only one month ago a client bought her little spaniel puppy and she had been wormed with panacur - non identifiable blood in the stools which were very soft continued for 2 weeks after she had picked him up. Tests by the vet proved of no value, and no infection or cause could be found in this otherwise well and playful puppy. The stool looked horrendous swirls of fresh red blood in very soft unformed stool.
The conclusion (EVEN FROM THE VET) was that the puppy had suffered a gut reaction from panacur, as he had seen happen in the past ! For the horses mouth so to speak, when breeders in the UK have been suspicious of this.

poop eating is very natural in the wild, i would always pick it up and when you do see him eating him just tell him no, as you disaprove of it, thats what i did , it has nothing to do with worms. he should grow out of it when he is older. it also can be the food you are feeding and if he is not asorbing all the nutrients he needs, he will poop eat..

The feces of your dog for what ever reasons contain too much protein and it is natural for animal to "utilize' this protein.
Reasons:
1. Food too rich in protein.
2. Food with poor quality of protein which is not easily digestible.
3. Dog has some digestive problem.
4. eating feces may become compulsive.
Use natural home cooked food. Not a "high quality" crap in a shiny bag.
Look at my posts I have recommended recipe many times here.

What makes you think your dogs need deworming? Are you seeing the worms in the stool, is your puppy not keeping weight? If you have already treated him/her with pancur you may want to look in to a monthly preventive. I'm guessing you give your dogs their vaccinations on your own?
