Hahaha... sucks to be us. The coccidia meds were starting to firm up Nikko's poo a little, but then in the last couple of days it all went downhill again - he was more lethargic, and his poops got runnier and stinkier again. Still though, he was still eating and drinking - thankfully.
Today I took a stool sample in, and the vet said the coccidia seems to be gone (but to still finish out the meds he's on for that anyways), BUT the giardia is still there, and alive. We had had TWO stool samples before this where there was no giardia, or at least the vet didn't see any - so beware, this is a tricky and horrible parasite. And we have also been insanely obsessive about washing him and bleaching everything, espeically poop areas after we pick the poop up. We have another five days' of Panacur ahead of us now, then we'll do another stool sample. Please pray for tootsie roll poops instead of chocolate mousse in Nikko's near future! We're getting closer!!!
