Hello, sorry to hear about Waffle. Some GI signs may persist for up to 5 days. In addition to the medication you were given, you may try to feed your dog a bland diet of plain white rice, skinless and boneless boiled chicken, and low fat cottage cheese for 3-5 days. If his signs are not improving, or if he develops bloody diarrhea, vomiting, lethargy, or a decreased appetite, then he should be evaluated by his veterinarian again as he may need additional medications. Hope this helps and best of luck.
