Dogs do get bugs, but that is determined after testing for some other things. It sounds like she had a ton of diarrhea. Unless she has made a miraculous turn around this am, she needs to go back to a different ER vet for testing. Even if the drugs work, they may be just covering up symptoms. I'd want some base line testing done before just drugging. This is esp. important because the issue has continued throughout the night.

There is a test to r/o pancreatitis.
No fecal test talked about?
No basic blood panel just to make sure everything is okay metabolically?
And you may end up doing xrays too.

Fluids help keep them hydrated, but with that much diarrhea, it is still a big problem. also, if she has continued, then she needs to be admitted.

Have you fed her anything different recently?
