My dog has poopd for three times from today morning. Last time she poopd solid but yellow. After pooping she bends to poop again and some watery yellowish came out. She did that couple of times. After that she dragged her anus on the ground. She was diagnosed with helminths and medicine for that was given 10 days ago. And medicine for Jaundice is going on. 5/10 days left to complete her course. She is eating rice and chicken. Yesterday she ate rice and dal and some muri as snacks.

Hello, and thank you for your question. Was Riku re-tested for worms after the treatment for helminths was finished? I would make sure to do that to confirm whether the worms were completely treated or not. Ongoing worms may be a cause of persistent diarrhea. I would recommend having Riku re-assessed by the vet within the next 24 hours if her diarrhea has not stopped by then. In the meantime, I would continue offering small frequent meals of boiled chicken and plain white rice. This may help to clear our her digestive tract. I hope this helps, and that Riku is feeling better soon!
