[QUOTE=LuvMySissy;1996202]We have had two bouts of giardia and an overgrowth of bacteria with Sissy. During her first bout of giardia, she was on Pancur for two weeks and the giardia only got worse. It wasn't until she started on Metronidazole in a liquid form that she improved. She got this twice a day for 10 days.

Giardia MUST be treated with Metronidazole to cure it....however if the puppy or other puppy have contact with fecus they will reinfect!!!!
Giardia can be killed with bleach however if you have cocciciosis, another parasite, it will not be killed with bleach and a different antibiotic will be used.

Good luck
