Could Anipryl be causing my senior dog's mushy yellow diarrhea?

Question

My 14 year old black lab has had very mushy yellow stool the last 5 days. I have him on Flagyl 2x/day per my vets instructions. He is also on the max dose of Anipryl, 60mg a day, for his cognitive dysfunction. Could this be causing his diarrhea ? Should I cut back on the Anipryl. It is very difficult to get ahold of my vet these days, as you can imagine. Thank you. Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Male | neutered | 70 lbs

If Mitch has been on Anipryl for a while, I wouldn't expect the diarrhea to be related. If it was started recently, then you may want to back down for a bit and see if the diarrhea resolves. You can add probiotics and feed a bland diet of cooked white rice and boiled chicken breast for a few days to rest the GI tract.
