HELP! SICK 5 MO. OLD HUSKY!!!

Please help!! I have a 5 month old Sibe that I've had for 2 1/2 months. About 3 weeks ago she developed diarrhea and occasional vomiting. I've taken her to her vet 3 times for this... she has done fecal samples, blood tests and a parvo test (she's been vaccinated). She put her on Flagyl to form the feces and sucraflate (sp?) to stop the vomiting. She was also put on a bland dog food- Hill's Prescription ID. She started doing better, but halfway through the Rx her stool started to get soft again. I decided that after 3 trips to her vet (not to mention mega-bucks!!) without results, that I would take her for a 2nd opinion. She tested for parasites and found none, but put her on 2 other meds, one to harden her stool and an antibiotic. She seems to get better for a couple of days and then has a loose stool or diarrhea and seems to be down in the dumps... as you know, this is not normal for huskies!! Is there someone out there that has had similar problems or could offer some insight on what I should do when neither of the vets I've taken her to can help?!? P.S. I'm hanging my head right now... I got her from a pet store. I hadn't heard the horror stories until people asked me where I got her. I just wanted a husky. :o(
