The other thing to be aware of is that once your pup has had it, they are more susceptible to getting it again.

Unfortunately, we too have had kennel cough (from the vaccine) and two bouts of giardia - all with Sissy!!!!
Just wondering if getting giardia, does this tend to leave a dog with a weak stomach. I had a yorkie once that had it and he always seemed to have a weaker stomach, I always thought it was from having giardia. anyone know the answer.

I am sorry your baby's are both sick, hang in there, I know it can be hard at times. hugs to you...
