How long until a very sick dog with worms gets better?

My dog is very, very sick. After he got out of a dog kennel he was boarded at, he progressively lost about 15 lbs in six weeks, no appetite, had black stools, became very weak. He was hospitalized. They did blood tests, x-rays, an ultrasound, and didn't find anything except that he is very anemic.

Yesterday I saw a worm in his stool. It was very tiny and still moving. So, they put him on dewormer.

Can a dog get this sick from having worms? If so, how long until he starts to feel better and recover?
They aren't sure what kind of worms. The vet said she didn't find any eggs in the stool I brought in but I SAW THE ACTUAL WORM. I checked again after I had picked it up to be sure and saw it again, still moving.

They gave him a 3 day course of Panacur and a 1 day course of Droncit, the latter I will repeat in 10 days.
