How to firm up my puppy's soft, watery, gassy stools after parvo?

Question

Luna has had soft stools and watery gassy bowel movements at night. She just survived the parvovirus about 2 1/2 weeks ago and has been eating her normal wellness core puppy food that was on before she got sick. Her stools seemed to firm up yesterday then became soft and watery at night and throughout today. She also had this issue before she got sick and the vet gave us pectalin, metronidazole, and Hills i/d and she still had soft stools. What should I do to help firm up her stools? Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Female | unspayed | 5 months and 16 days old | 24 lbs

This could still be from the parvo. Puppies can have abnormal stool on and off for up to a month after surviving the disease. If that’s not the case, often a prescription strength high fiber or hydrolyzed protein diet will help. There are some cases that will not respond to diet, and at that point your vet can discuss referral to an internist, further testing, or medications like Tylan powder to help. Best of luck to you and Luna!
