If a fecal test was not performed, then one should definitely be done to see if there even is an intestinal parasite responsible for the diarrhea. There are many other intestinal parasites that can cause diarrhea and Albon does not treat them all. I would recommend having a fecal sample from Koda tested to see what the possible causes of the diarrhea. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
