Agreed. You have to find the cause. But, because some parasites often do not show up on a fecal, many vets will assume the parasites are present and treat accordingly. If a week of metronidazole makes no difference, then it probably isn't giardia.

Have you done food trials to test for food allergies? The best treatment for diarrhea is to find the cause and to treat the cause.... that involves lots of testing.
