I was going to say the same thing - that the medicine is for giardia. Did your puppy have a stool sample taken to determine that he had a parasite before you started giving him this medicine?
I had gotten a puppy with giardia (at 5 months old) and first gave him panacur. He still continued to have the diarreah, so the vet prescribed the metronidazole. We then tried the chicken, rice and yogurt - and still had the diarreah. It turned out that most likely the panacur got rid of the parasite - but the puppy was so stressed out that he continued to get himself sick. It took about a week before we had a firm stool.
We did not experience throwing up though - so obviously until your vet runs some test - you will not be certain. Good Luck! |
