| Medicine from the vet for what? Was it just anti-diarrhea medication? Did the vet do a blood test to screen for parasites? Giardia is an intestinal parasite that comes from eating dirt or drinking contaminated water. It causes chronic diarrhea and is not a lot of fun (my 6 yr old and I had it a year ago...from drinking bad water in a restaurant). It is treatable, however.
IF YOUR VET HAS NOT SCREENED FOR PARASITES HAVE IT DONE ASAP!
Chronic diarrhea can lead to dehydration...make sure Jock is getting PLENTY of fluids to drink and GET HIM TO A VET!
