First off. Stopp feeding him Purina Dog chow and get him on a quality lamb and rice food. Second. Free feed him. Just keep a bowl full all the time. Border Collies do better if free fed. Some are naturaly skinny. But this dog is not getting fed right.

I would first take him to the vet to have him checked. Make sure he is has a clear fecal. Sometimes a pup can be carry a bacterial infection or a protozona. ( Coccidia or Giardia )
Worms are not the only cause for a poor doer.
I do agree with putting him on a high quality dog food. I use Pro Plan mixed with the frozen Bil-Jac. Most dogs love the Bil-Jac. I would fed him three meals per day if possible. You didn't mention if he has a good appetite or not. Warm the Bil Jac in the mircowave and mix it in the dry kibble. I would let him eat all he wanted for 15 minutes if he is a good eater. Free feeding works well will some dogs, but it can cause problems like picky eaters or a dog becoming
obese.
Good Luck!
