2 weeks is a long time for the runs. I'd personally go back to the vet as there might be some other, as yet undiagnosed, issue that's causing all this. However, it could be a simple re-infection . . . see what your vet says.

If it was me, I would give everyone a three day course of Panacur wormer and if that didn't settle the issue, I would send stool samples for analysis. Metacam is an anti-inflammatory drug not an antibiotic. Do let us know how things go...

metronizadole lol where i got metacam from i dont know.problem with panacur is it makes lena vomit the paste and the granules she will not eat.vet did mention blood tests in the new year not sure as for why tho i cant remember wot he said,other than if she not right they would do that itd be fasting blood for 24 hours!
