    That is a shame the meds did not clear him up and he still has loose stool.

    Can you give a bit more background on him? How old is he? What has he been fed in the past and did he have firm stool on that food? Has he been healthy up until recently?

    It could be a food intolerance. I have a 12 plus yr old dog that developed a food intolerance about a yr ago and it is tough to find what she can eat and digest. She does great on cooked sweet potato (about 5 ounces) and cooked fish (about 4-5 ounces) twice a day but I am trying other meats now.

    If it is not caused by a parasite, what else could it be? Did the vet have any ideas?
    Common sense isn't so common these days.

    This is a dog that belongs to someone else. He claims the dog got the freakin runs about 6 weeks before I ever picked him up. He looks like shit. He's a walking skeleton. He said he run about every worming protocol through the dog with no luck.

    SO, I offered to take it on to see if I could help the dog. I started with cleaning him up, I termidor'd him (frontline), hit him with droncit.
    Then, I followed the protocol Jack lined out with the Pyrantal and Fenbendizol. No change.
    He was raised on subpar kibble with meat scraps and supplements.
    He has had nothing but boiled right and cooked chicken for the past, almost, two weeks I've had him.
    He doesn't have "loose" stool, he has a thin pancake batter stool. Just spreads out thin like a pancake batter. Got a yellowish brown color to it.
    I started him on the TMZ and Metron yesterday.
    He's had immodium twice daily as well as antibiotics the first entire week I had him.

    He looks better now. His coat is better, he's shinier, he acts incredibly good for a dog in his condition. He just looks like shit and cannot form a turd.

    I think that's about all the info I can think of. If you got ideas, throw em my way.
    If he don't clear up after this treatment, I'll take him in to get him looked at.

    The TMZ/Metro should do the trick ... I hope ... has he also had the simple rice/chicken change to his diet?

    Good luck!

    Yes, I changed his diet the day I got him, to just boiled/grilled chicken and white rice. That's it.
