Our puppy had giardia when we got him. In retrospect, we don't think our breeder kept the cleanest conditions. We found out about it when we took him to the vet for his first checkup, and it was in his stool sample. We had him on panacur for five days, and no succeeding stool sample has contained the bacterium.
It can be frightening to hear, but I think they generally bounce back pretty quickly. |
