 Puppy with giardia
As I was doing research on my new puppy, I found your question. I would really like to know what to do also. I've had my little girl for about 4 weeks. I purchased her at 10 weeks old, apprx 8 ounces. We found out after two weeks that she had giardia (high count) and coccidia because my 16 month-old, 3.2 lb yorkie got very sick. She got it from the baby. Well, that's not all. A couple of days ago we found out she has ringworm also. She has it all over her little body and glowed in the vet's office under the blue light. She has had both prior to getting her, but came with a clean bill of health. Now my 12 year old pek is sick. The poor baby yorkie has to be quarantined for at least two months and could possible be a carrier to both. She has grown to 1.7 lbs at 3.5 months and we love her to death. Should we give her back because she could possibly infect people and pets again? Somebody please give us some helpful advice. |
