Thanks for sharing becuause I have heard the cough lasts a long time for some dogs, and I wasn't sure if she needed to stay on antibiotics until the cough was completely gone. I am glad to hear your puppy improved finally improved without antibiotics. So I will wait and take her back only if she worsens.
Your poor baby. Giardia is even worse from what I hear. That is a lot to go thru for a little one (and the little one's owner!)
