I think you need to bring her back to the vet or find a new vet. there are many things they should be checking for besides parasites.
What food is she currently eating? How many years has this been going on?

I agree. You definitely need a vet and probably a higher quality dog food in the meantime. What are you feeding?

she eats purina healthy morsal puppy chow. and this has been going on for a year or more at age one she had pancrcitist so i thought it might have something to do with that but the vet didn't act to concerned

All Purina foods are considered low quality, she certainly could have trouble digesting it, especially since she did suffer an attack of pancreatitis. Once your vet checks her and deems her healthy, check out the food forum here for help on choosing a better food.

I understand your frustration with this issue... I WENT through years of loose stools, stomach noises, grass eating, diarreah(sp)& throwing up with my Staff. Terrier (7yrsold).I had him on prescriptions for acid reflux, Dr. recommended cottage cheese, yogurt etc... etc... and NOTHING ever made him better. I had him on Science Diet sensitive stomach for yrs thinking that I was doing all I could by giving him this food. I really was blind to how important it is to make sure I KNOW what is actually in this food. It was only recently when the pet food recall was announced that I pulled all of his food, threw it away and started cooking for him. REAL FOOD!!!!!! and let me tell you... What a difference.. a miracle... I jumped for joy at the first
"poop inspection" .... It was solid !!!!! and the noises were gone... no more grass eating.. he hasn't thrown up since!!! I have also found an awesome dog food that is made from REAL FOOD and formulated by a Holistic Vetrinarian Dr. Jane Bicks.. The food is called Lifes Abundance . I pay about $50 per 40lb bag. I have had great results. I add protien to his food as well (chicken). Do some research and see what you come up with. The food change is what worked for us. Good Luck.

I found a gal that has done alot of research and seems quite knowledgeable. She is a distributer so she has a web site that I order from. Her name is Michelle, her telephone # is 860-689-2602. She seems real nice. Also there is a confrence call that we can connect to on Thurs. pm where Dr. Jane Bicks answers any questions we have. I know this will help... It has helped us. Your baby is BEAUTIFUL. A little bundle of Joy I'm sure!! :-) Angela
