My 4 month old yorkie has gardia recently and she was treated with Panacur Granules and Metronidazole (benzoate). The Panacur is a white powder that was given for 4 days and after those 4 days, she took 1/2 tablets twice a day for 8 days. The powder and pills were measured and cut bythe vet staff. She recently finished her pills and another stool sample test was done. The results were good - no more giardia and none of the diarrhea and/ or explosive diarrhea anymore, thank goodness! My pup was never given any shots for her giardia. Since she just recently finished her pills, I don't know anything about giardia returning after such short intervals. I hope that won't happen! Good luck and I'd recommend you find another vet or ask your vet for medication instead??? |
