Thank you for submitting your question regarding Bambie. Deworming can resolve diarrhea when parasites are to blame. This is not always the case though. It is best a see a veterinarian for fecal testing to know why she is having loose stool. Then appropriate medication can be prescribed to help her feel better. I hope this information helps!
