We've had two experiences with Giardia now!!! They can get very sick, but it sounds like your little guy is eating well if he gained 2 oz!!
When you give his meds, if you put him on the counter or a table and wrap your arm around him (if you know what a "football" hold is) with his butt toward you - head away - then use that same hand to open his mouth and squirt the meds into the side of his mouth toward the back of his throat, really fast, it usually works.
If the vet didn't already tell you, everything your pup has needs to be disinfected with a bleach solution. I also keep baby wipes to wash the bum every time they potty as well feet after coming in from outside.
