So basically she is reinfecting herself. Does anyone have any idea on what I can do to stop that? Its only a problem when I work and can not keep an eye on her and pick it up right away. Also, I am a germ phobic so the fact that I can catch Giardia is disturbing. I clean and disinfect my bathroom with bleach every day (where I keep her during the day) and I wash her every day (including wipe her off with wipees after every trip outside). This process takes me about an hour to an hour and half when I get home from work. She makes a MESS by tearing up her puppy pad or dragging her poo around. I am exhausted. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to make this easier? I am at my wits end and am sooo tired. I am in the process of moving too so I am really afraid that when I move in the next day or two that she will get thrown off and start having accidents on the new rug. This puppy business is waaay harder than I thought! HELP |
She will be fine. My Peanut had Giardia as well..Just make sure you clean up her poo really well...Dont touch it, dont let her touch it or get into it. What med's is she on?
