With the Giardia, we were told to give her the Panacur every day for 7 days. Yesterday was the last day of the Panacur and this morning was our first poop-fest event...there was mucus in both morning stools and each time she went she also leaked a clear fluid and scooted around like a madwoman on all my carpets 
Does anyone think this Panacur may have done more harm than good? Perhaps yogurt might help? What kind of yogurt is best for a 3mo old puppy? |
Chances are the Panacur did not take care of the Giardia completely. Request Metronidazole. With yogurt, I particularly like Stoneyfield Organic (either regular or lowfat, plain or vanilla) and also like Dannon Natural (either regular or lowfat, plain or vanilla). Start with about a teaspoon and go up to a tablespoon. It will help settle her tummy, but won't do anything for the giardia and mucousy stools.
