i dont know if i should start a new thread but im going to update here.. i spoke about prince having a belly ache on this thread about a few days ago well we went downhill from there
yesterday(saturday) prince had diarrhea all day a total of 3 times and it was very messy and stinky.. this morning he had a mucus diarrhea with a little blood in it so i made an appt for the vet asap. well guess what.. prince has giardia
i am reallyyy reallyyy sick over this bc i dont know how he got this and im totally freaking out doing lotsss of research. i mean he looks and seems fine its just his stools that are all messed up. at the vet they gave him 2 shots one of penicillin and one of dexamethasone (what are these?). the vet also sent me home with 3 medicines biomax, deworming, and metronidazole. prince is also on new food special for gastro problems and rebound to restore electrolytes. my vet said not to worry because all this medicine will have him cleared up in no time but i am still freaking out. what should i do about the house? i have to bleach everything and change all his bedding? can humans get this?? any input would be greatly appreciatedddd.
do you think i should start a new thread about this?
also, he is 5 months old, 3.4 pounds and an indoor dog even if he goes outside i dont put him down on the floor. how did my baby get giardia?
