I actually would suggest you get a probiotic for this issue. Fortiflora would be my recommendation and I would use it for atleast 2 weeks even if the diarrhea clears up in a couple days. If you can't get Fortiflora then you can use any probiotic made for dogs. Do not use human products or dairy (ie: yogurt).

If that doesn't clear up the issue you can consider a dewormer but really, you should have your vet check a stool sample from Jenna to see if there are worms present and if so, what kind. There is no dewormer that will treat every type of parasite in one. You need to know what type of worms you are dealing with to be able to treat with the correct dewormer.
