My puppy died within the first week and he was diagnosed with Giardia. He ended up dying in the care of the Vet, whom he was with for 3 days in a row. I also know that they just did a news report on the person who sold me the puppy because she is selling other people Yorkies with Giardia, and their puppies are not making it either. My puppy was alot younger at just 9 weeks, and one pound. He as never healthy since the day I got him, and did not eat. The stools turned to bloody diareah, and then went into the hands of the Vet, where he later passed. Just want you to be VERY careful as it can turn into something serious!
P.s. I also had to have my children put on the Flagyl for Giardia because they were handling the puppy and had also contracted it through the pup.
Good Luck,
