Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Inappetence and diarrhea can occur secondary to conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, dietary indiscretion, parasites, among other possibilities. I recommend that you have Buddy reevaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. At the very least, they could perhaps check for parasites again to make sure that there are no other different parasites affecting him now and they can proceed based on findings. Other possible diagnostics include abdominal imaging and general lab work. Other medications for diarrhea can be considered. In the meantime, keep water available at all times to try to prevent dehydration. Good luck and have a good day!
