Sorry to hear you are having a problem with your male pitbull puppy.  I am glad to hear that you have dewormed both of them recently.  Typically the deworming should take care of the intestinal parasites, though reinfection is possible.

Virus are an infection that can occur but are independent of intestinal parasites.  The symptoms you describe could be an infection caused by a virus, bacteria, dietary indiscretion, foreign body, or parasites.

The best thing to do go to the veterinarian today so a complete examination is done.  The veterinarian may recommend running a stool sample, blood work, and possibly radiographs.  

Good luck and keep us posted.
