My Murphy is 3 months old. He's had on and off diarreha since we got him on December 12, 2008. His stool sample from the vet came back negative for worms, however, he ended up having tapeworms. He was treated and is now tapeworm free. However, he has continued to have on and off diarreha since his deworming shot and just today hes been extremely abnormal...he's been very lazy and sleeping A LOT. About noon he began dry heaving, which has continued until now. He just threw up, which was peachy colored. I made a call to the vet who said they will check for the parasite Giardia. This lab test will cost $52. I would be okay with this except they're not checking for anything else. What else should I have them check for? I'm really stressed out...Murphy does not seem well at all. Any info will help.
