Diarrhea can be very frustrating. You're puppy may need to be on meds longer and on a special diet longer. Probiotics that are for dogs are also good to help correct the problem. My puppy had this problem and I had to send a special diarrhea panel to the lab and so a special antibiotic for a month. Maybe sure your pup had a giardia test and ample deworming. Stay on the meds and special diet your vet recommends and don't stop too early.
