There are things like giardia and coccidia that can cause diarrhea that you can't deworm for with an over the counter dewormer. Please do your dog a favor and take him to the vet.

Actually safeguard treats giardia. But I do agree if the dog needs to see a vet.

From what I can find online, Bob Martin dewormer is not labeled to treat whipworms. You need to know what, if any, parasite you're dealing with so you can administer the PROPER medicine.

Fenbendazole is the active ingredient used to treat giardia. Safeguard is one brand name. There are others. You would need to be able to figure the proper dose of Fenbendazole. Dewormer is relatively cheap at your Vet's office and you would know you are getting the proper dose. Throwing the wrong drugs at the wrong maladies is what leads to drug resistance.
