Pet's info: Dog | Bulldog | Female | spayed | 6 months and 9 days old | 40 lbs
My dog was diagnosed with a bacterial infection and the nurse as spayed. Diarrhea continued for 5 days and then she had colitis. We took her back to vet gave her a shot and she's had less accidents but is sill having them. I finished 5 Days of panacur and she's now on metrozinadole. Does she have permanent fecal incontenence? I'm really worried- it's been 7 days since this all started.

No, fecal incontinence is very unlikely to be present. The signs you are describing are only related to the gastrointestinal infection which will need a full course of antibiotics to be cured. I would suggest to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice for 4-5 days. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
