| Giardia Concerns! Input please... I bought my 3 month old puppy Nyla at a local yorkie breeder, 1 week and 3 day ago. Ever since I got her she has had diahrea and mucus looking feces. I took her to the vet and returned with a feces sample, it was positive for Giardia. I met with the breeder and she gave my pup medicine (Fenbendazole) and to give her .8ml/cc once daily for 7 days, then to repeat in 2 weeks. It's been about three days of using the medicine now. I pick up the feces rite away after she goes and wipe he bum, she still drags her bum across the carpet. She eats 3 times a day little amount everytime. I'm feeding her (Nutra Ultra puppy w/ some rice mixed in) Should I try another source of food while she is sick?? The smell is HORRIBLE and she goes about 10x a day. I'm worried the medicine the breeder gave me isn't the rite stuff. I wanna believe her sine she takes care of yorkie's all day everyday but i'm not sure. Please let me know what ya'll think, and feel free to ask questions! thankx everyone!

| I think you need to not give what the breeder told you and go back to the vet and do what he says. 10 times a day is very very not normal and she is probably dehydrated.

| If you took her to the Vet and had the fecal done, why didn't the Vet give you the medication? It can take a long time to get rid of Giardia. Just make sure yoy clean every thing real good with bleach where ever she has pooped. I know this be done on carpet, but do the best you can.

She drinks water all day, not just when she eats. She is very playful and takes normal puppy naps daily inbetween playtimes.

| I would take her back to the Vet have the Vet prescribe her medicine and not deal with what the breeder says. Once Georgie came home with me anytime I felt something wasn't right it was off to the Vet. Good luck and keep us posted.

| @lovetodream88 I will be taking her to the vet (a different one) cuz the one I went to treated me with no respect... and she drinks water throughout the day but has lost some weight since I got her. @Txvicki I'm using the (clorox wipes) after i clean up her poop on the carpet but i do need lysol cuz my place smells like her poop and scented sprays... is it possible that my boyfriend and I can have sick feeling from her issue??

My furkids Donating Member | I went through garadia AND bacteria (in their gut) with all 3of mine back in July. My vet put them all on metronidizole. Giardia is a very though parasite to get rid of. It took a month before it was gone.
