Albon (Sulfadimethoxine), from what I understand is an antibiotic used for a variety of bacterial infections, in both human and animal.
If he is treating your animal with anitbiotics, then he is assuming that the stools are caused by some kind of bacterial/parasitic infection.

Unfortunately, the antibiotics that kill the bacteria, also destroy the natural bacteria that lives in your digestive tract.
The infection that started the diarrhea, might be gone but the side effects of Albon, which is diarrhea, might still be showing up.

I would try a plain natural organic yogurt, that would increase the probiotic activity in his digestive tract. Do not do the non-fat or sugar-free. Try to get him to take a tablespoon + a couple of times a day at least. I would also stick with boiled chicken and white rice; a bland diet for awhile. Keep your vet in the loop, and let him know what you are doing. That way he knows that the condition is still occuring.
Keep us posted and good luck.
