Is diarrhea and no appetite a Drontal Plus side effect in dogs?

Question

Pepper went to the vet today also for throwing up bile this morning. Vet said to just monitor her. Was given a dose of drontal plus as precautionary as she was around a puppy with worms. I gave that to her about 4-5 hours ago. She now has diarrhea and no appetite which is VERY unlike her. She has never refuses food in her life. Could this be a side effect of the drontal plus? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | 1 year and 8 months old | 12 lbs

Sometimes Drontal plus can cause emesis (throwing up). But it is also possible that she has a tummy issue. Diarrhea and throwing up can have many causes. It is basically a problem with the stomach and intestines caused by a food over sensitivity, eating something that does not agree with the dog, intestinal parasites, bacterial infection, viral infection, the weather, food change, stress, etc.  I would fast Pepper for 12 hours and then put her on bland food for two days, such as boiled white rice and boiled white boneless chicken meat, fed in small quantities over several feeds and then transition back to her regular food slowly over a few days. If this does not clear up the diarrhea or if the vomiting increases, or if she gets lethargic, she needs to see a veterinarian for an exam as there may be something more serious such as an infection going on.
