I completely understand why you're worried. Dealing with persistent diarrhea in a puppy can be quite challenging and concerning. It's great that you've already tried some vet-recommended solutions, so let's consider what might still be causing the issue.
Diarrhea in puppies can stem from several factors, such as dietary indiscretion (like getting into something they shouldn't have), food intolerances or allergies, parasites, bacterial or viral infections, or even stress and anxiety. Since the usual remedies haven't helped, it could be beneficial to look into these possibilities more closely.
For at-home care, ensure your puppy stays hydrated, as diarrhea can lead to dehydration. Offering small amounts of a bland diet, like boiled chicken and rice, can sometimes help settle their stomach. Just remember to introduce any food changes gradually. Also, consider removing any toys or objects they might chew on that could upset their stomach.
Keep an eye on your pup for any signs of dehydration (like dry gums or lethargy), persistent vomiting, blood in the stool, or if the diarrhea lasts more than a couple of days. These could signal a need for more immediate veterinary attention.
I recommend setting up a video consult with Dial A Vet. This will allow us to discuss your puppy's history in more detail and possibly conduct some further tests to pinpoint the cause.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
