We've had the giardia experience twice with Sissy (a year apart). There was just a thread a few days ago with information on giardia. Please do a search - it was great information.
You really need to disinfect everything and continue to disinfect. Even if you are using pee pads, change them daily and wipe your baby after going with baby wipes, then flush away!!!! Make sure to wipe their paws with a fresh wipe also to keep their little feet from spreading the cysts.
It can be a real bugger to get a clean stool sample. Were you given the Metronidazole in liquid form? I would highly recommend it to ensure your pup is getting all the meds they should. The powered stuff just doesn't work very well.
Watch your pup closely to make sure they continue eating/drinking as they can become anorexic with Giardia. It is also a good idea to keep them inwide until completely recovered. We started giving a quality yogurt for breakfast as a result of all the meds and the nasty parasites. Sissy has been health every since!!!!
Good luck!!!!!!!
