My 16 Week Old Kitten Has Diarrhea…what Next?

I got my kitten 4 weeks ago and her stool was fine but it quickly turned to a loose stool and then diarrhea. I don’t remember what the breeder was feeding her but I think it was Iams. I started feeding her Royal Canin Baby Cat. Once I thought she was ok to have access to the house and the other cats, she stopped eating the Royal Canin and started eating the cat’s food. I tried to keep her on the Baby Cat but she wouldn’t eat it. Every morning I give the cats one can of Merrick wet food and a scoop of Wellness dry food.
I took her to the vet a week ago, when the diarrhea was at it’s worst. The vet prescribed Metronidazole and said otherwise, she is perfectly healthy. She just finished taking that. It’s been six days since her first dose and there has been less than 10% improvement.
I have a call in to my vet to see what’s next. I know that my vets, while very good, don’t know everything, so I’m looking for some advice on here as well.
