Default Question on giardia and diet

The Pom puppy I am fostering tested positive for giardia after a normal fecal the day before I got her. As a result, my 3 have been exposed to her daily and she is on Panacur for 7 days. I called my vet and she said she would rather not treat my girls but at the first sign of infection she would do a fecal and give metrodrozinole( her preference over Panacur). The puppy is on day 3 of Panacur and showing no signs of improvement and is losing weight but is very energetic. Does anyone know , I forgot to ask the vet, if I should be feeding her anything special like rice to help with the diahrea? Thanks so much for any help, this is my first time fostering and I am pretty nervous.
