When we got our Eva she had Coccidia and Giardia and both ears were infected and she had a nasal infection. The first month and a half was harder than when I came home with both my newborn children, the clean up and extra bathing because of the parasites on top of the regular puppy care and potty training, well it is really hard. Nursing and changing diapers was a piece of cake compared to caring for our Eva. Still, it was so worth it. Puppies can get really sick and it seems they get it all at once. Give it a month or so more and you will see the light at the end of the tunnel. Eva is coming up to six months now and we love her so much. We nursed her through a real rough patch and it made us love her even more.
It does impact a family. Everyone gets grumpy and is just so tired. I hope things get better for you soon.
