I have no idea what you "went through" in 2014.
I merely made a suggestion because his diarrhea went on for a very long time imho. Nine days in a small dog is a lot and that was with only minimal improvement. Your vet should know about the GI panel. Yes, it is the only place to have it done. Vets from all over the country send blood work there for testing.
I don't have anything else to offer other than stopping that "herb" which you wouldn't do anyway. I just wanted to let you know about the test. I am one to look for causes rather than treating symptoms.
BTW: one stool/day is not diarrhea so hopefully he is fine.

I thought A&M was the College of Veterinary Medicine located in Texas. We went through this in 2014.
Not to sound snarky, I live in Pennsylvania, why would my vet send to Texas for any test results on GI, is A&M who every vet in every state uses? Educate me.
Cody had diarrhea due to the herbs and possibly Methocarbamol and Rimadyl my vet prescribed. I was giving these to him all at one time 2 pills in a Greenie pill pocket, 2 pills in another Greenie pill pocket. When the diarrhea started on 8/26 or the 27 th my vet put him on Metronidazole to stop the diarrhea and it worked until the 5 day supply ran out.
This is the only time he has had diarrhea since 2014. The diarrhea has stopped, I am doing a very slow transition back to his kibble, that Simparica tablet on the 20th caused some diarrhea, that was the only thing different he ate last night. The poop Cody made was a normal poop with the last part being very soft and mushy, diarrhea. Since Cody has one bowel movement a day, I have to wait for tomorrow to see what it looks like.
In the past he had no issues that a GI would have been called for.
