Goldie (I love your name by the way, it was my grandmother's),
I'm going through the same thing with my 5-month-old husky. I posted a message yesterday hoping that someone had some info. If you find out what it is or you can get rid of your dog's diarrhea PLEASE let me know. I have had her for about 2 1/2 months and I've spent $465 in vet bills - that does include about $175 in shots but the rest has been spent on trying to figure out what the problem is. I'm SO frustrated!! I've heard that huskies have finicky stomachs, so I have mine on a bland dog food - Hill's Prescription ID, but so far it hasn't done anything to harden the stool. She's back on Flagyl to try to harden it... will let you know if that works long-term.
I've been told it could be Giardia or something else - I can't remember the name of it... (something that starts with an "O" maybe?) but her stool has been sent to the lab to be put under special lights and such... I'm just hoping it's nothing serious.
Keep in touch, let me know what you find out and I'll do the same.
