I picked out a terrier mix from our local shelter many years back. I always have taken my puppies immediately to the Vet and she had Giardia. For about one month I thought sure I would lose her. Every day when I came home from work I was afraid of what I would find. She died at 17.
I put her on rice and cottage cheese for weeks and slowly added kibble until she could tolerate kibble alone. It was tough and slow going but we prevailed. The only thing is she had a finicky tummy her whole life but she lived and was possibly the best dog I've ever had. |
