Strongid will take care of the worms but if the diarrhea is still occurring then you should get her rechecked. There may be a bacterial infection or something causing it at this point. At 6 weeks if she is other wise healthy they can start her vaccines also Make sure she is on a good food as a poor diet can also lead to diarrhea
