Our little persian is 6 mo old- he had diarrhea issues when he was younger which he was dewormed and treated.  Things were fine until about 3 wks ago.  Liquidy diarrhea occured again for no reasons,  I brought a stool sample to work with me (veterinary clinic) and it was tested Neg for parasites so we put him on metronadazole for a week and of course things cleared up.  He has now been off of it for a week and he might be starting with that problem again.  No diarrhea yet but it looks like a small amt of stool comes out of his anus when he is just walking around. :? (sorry guys i know gross :^/ )  And of course some gets on the hair around there which we keep trimed.  He acts fine no changes in diet or any other around our house.  Is this a common problem with this breed?

Have you considered Tritrichomonas Foetus? It has to have special tests done at a lab that tests for it, usually NCSU. The stool also needs special collection and handling. If your Vet is not familiar with it there are all the links to the most up to date info on the heatlh site here under Tritrichomonas. It is more common than a lot of people or vets think and most vets have not yet gotten much training on it. I have been dealing with it for over two years so I have quite a bit of info and knowledge on it. We have worked with all the experts on this issue. If you want to PM me I can try to help. In the mean time I will go into the health section and bump it back to the top so you can find it. We tryed everything under the sun before finally testing for this, I wish with all my heart it had been done sooner. Good luck. Dianne
