SEEKING ADVICE ON DIARRHEA
http://www.icomm.ca/~dragon/parasite.htm
This site has info on Flagyl and Panacur. Panacur is a dewormer for one thing.
Has your vet tried Flagyl?
FLAGYL (Metronidazole): Note that it is effective against Flagellates, protozoans and anaerobes when given in the proper dosages.
PANACUR (Febendazole): Do note that it is mainly effective against Nematodes.

To pay safe, I will ask the vet to do one more examination on the stool end of this week.
To further elaborate, the stool is in good shape but a bit soft. BB has very good appetite and drinks normally (she consumed a lot of water when she had the diarrhea / parasites). I can only comment that there is very slow improvement. However, BB is doing better and better. I can tell from the brightness of her hair and weight.
I will post the result of stool examination after seeing the vet. Where possible, I will ask the name of the parasite last found in the stool.
Lastly, piggymom, is Neo doing better now?

Alison im glad to hear BB is doing better, i had gone back and read the last 4 pages when i was looking for help with Gizmo ( formerly Neo it just dident fit him) and seen all that you had gone through, i hope its smooth sailing for her from here on out . Gizmo and his sister carmella are doing fine i was very lucky, they are eating and drinking and playing around, and their stool is formed and solid. thanks again all .

I have brought BB to the vet Saturday.
The good news is : BB recovers totally. i.e. no need to rely on any medicine. The bad thing is her gut becomes allergic. This is also the reason for the soft stool. Nevertheless, the vet comments this is acceptable, as long as the stool is formed and good in shape. She increases the weight to 990g. (BB is a fat girl and weighed 1050g before.)
