My 11 week old puppy has giardia & was given panacur; now he has diarrhea. Vet thinks it's a side effect. Any other advice or how to treat the diarrhea?

Consider a short fast, 8-12 hours, followed by a bland diet in small, frequent amounts. A veterinary probiotic may also help to promote a healthy gut. Brands include FortiFlora, ProStora or ProViable. Continue to medicate as directed by your veterinarian.
