I am hoping that you have this girl on monthly heartworm preventative. Feed her more if she is hungry!

Worming is recommended every three-four months of the dog's life.. so it is likely that you need to do it again... they can pick them up so easily just by rummaging around in the back garden even... the main thing I notice when a dog needs worming is that they 'scoot' their bottoms along the ground in discomfort... this is usually a sign of either worms or anal glands needing emptying.. but when you combine the hunger into the symptoms then it is more likely to need worming..
the shop bought wormers usually aren't as effective as the ones bought at the vet's.. I use drontal plus.. which you can actually buy cheaply online.. but if you are unsure then it is best to talk to the vets about it..
I hope this helps :)

My female Weim is hungry all the time and will eat as much as you will feed her any time.
She is always hungry. She is very active and burns off the food really fast like most weims do. She will eat as much dry food as you will give her.
She gets only about 2 1/2 cups per day of a very high quality dog food. She will eat everything else that she finds she is always hungry.
My dogs is wormed once per month it is in with her heartworm preventative and I know she does not have worms. She has been checked.
I think you dog is like most Weims and is willing to eat anytime or pany place and as much as you will give.
I would have her checked for worms if you are not worming her on a regular basis.

It probably has nothing to do with worms but if it has it depends on which worming berand you use. A dog must be wormed every 3 months but as soon as a dog is wormed they can catch them again, but it prevents them from infecting their insides!!

She is due again, a dog should be wormed every three months and flea control should be used all year round as fleas lie dormant for up to 150 days then pounce !

My vet says that dogs should be wormed every 3 months so your dog is probably due again.

She needs worming again! Simple. I do mine every 8 weeks as they eat all sorts of crap. Good luck if in doubt give your vet a call.

Shes hungry? Sometimes they need to be wormed more than once. Why did you get her wormed at that age? I'm guessing that she had them?? If so you probably need to do it twice. Maybe more if its bad.

It's very difficult to answer this question without knowing more. Are you noticing any other abnormal symptoms? If so, you should probably take her to a vet.
