Extremely large intestinal parasite burdens can cause the symptoms you have described. Passing dead worms means there are a whole bunch more where they came from! I would recommend discussing deworming and blood testing with your vet. Some of the parasites can cause anemia and low protein levels, which will allow fluid to leak out of the blood vessels and into the abdomen. Deworming should be done carefully, as sudden death of large numbers of worms in sick patients can cause obstruction or other life-threatening issues.
