My dog got home 2 days ago from the humane society after having been treated for heartworms and having a few teeth pulled. Now he’s got bad diarrhea that doesn’t seem to be getting better. What can I do?

If the diarrhoea does not improve with dietary change (boiled chicken and rice) a check up would be required as it can be caused by an inflammation/infection of the gastrointestinal system and antibiotics may be required.
