    Thanks Limey - I'll add this in as well.
    The dog is Hailer. He's a son of my Hailgator dog. Hailgator was a dog of true to type Alligator blood and his son is one of the only one's around. I'd like to pull this guy through and use him as a stud dog.

    TMZ is Trimethoprim/Sulfadiazine. Always try to have some on hand.

    Corrid does work on grown dogs ,with certain stomach parasites besides coccidiosis .it is the best I have seen .it will also make them pass round worms .

    You're right that corrid works on adults, but (in my experience) not as well as TMZ ... yet it definitely works.

    However, I have never read a single thing that corrid gets any other kind of microbe, nor have I read a thing that it gets roundworms too. (And I have read a lot.)

    Do you have any research (or label indications) that show this?

    Thanks,

    Jack

    4. Give him Immodium AD.

    The dog needs FLUIDS and ELECTROLYTES if he's having so much diarrhea

    I don't know what "run different kinds of wormers" means, exactly, as each one could have been given inadequately

    At this point, I would suspect (as Loot says) coccidia, giardia, or some other microbe. There are 2 ways you can do this:

    1. Use a combination of Fenbendazole (23 mg/lb/TWICE DAILY for 5 days + Pyrantel (16 mg/lb, also for 5 days). A synergistic effect between pyrantel and febantel has now been proven.

    2. Metronidazole (12 mg/kg, TWICE DAILY for 5 days) + TMZ (50 mg/kg the first day and 25 mg/kg/day) for 2–3 wk thereafter

    Given his condition, you might want to do all 4 of these, just to be sure.

    If he's still symptomatic after this, then I am stumped.

    Good luck,

    Jack
    Since I posted this, my dog gets a cup and a half of boiled rice along with cooked white chicken meet. About a cup to a cup and a half. He gets this twice a day.
    He's been on immodium AD, from 5, up to 7 cc now, twice a day. He's skinny as a skeleton but is about a 55lb dog healthy.
    He's getting plenty of electrolytes and according to the "skin test" he's hydrated.
    I have run a full 5 day course of Fenben and Pyrantal through him.
    He started with pancake batter shits and now has exactly the same pancake batter shits. Absolutely no fucking change. Extremely frustrating.

    I started him on the Metronidazole and TMZ this morning, so we'll see how this goes.

    The dog acts great. He acts just like a completely healthy dog. However, if animal control saw him, I'd be up shit creek.
    It's extremely frustrating to have no change. His appetite is awesome. He can't wait for his next meal.

    Oh yeah, Limey - I started the supplement you recommended as well this morning.

    If anyone has any helpful info - let me know. I'll do my part on my end.

    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.
