If your baby is getting dehydrated, a simply sub-Q fluid injection will help lots. The vet should have given him that when you were there. If need be, use a syringe and give 1-2 CC's of Pedialyte every hour or so.
Giardia can be a bugger to get rid of. Everything your pup comes in contact with needs to be disinfected with a solution of 10% bleach. Make sure to wash the water and food dishes really well each day also. Sometimes the medication will make them anorexic, so keep working on whatever you can get him to eat.
Usually, once on meds for about 24 hours you should see firmer stools. Giardia is pretty contagious to other animals and can be contracted by humans, so no doggie kisses for a while. Giardia is a parasite that is spread through infected feces, primarily carried by birds. It is helpful to wipe your pup's feet when coming in from outside, whether pottying, playing or on a walk. Baby wipes are your best friend here. I also use them to wipe the hiney after pottying.
Good luck with your little guy!!!
