Secret giardia question... still tested positive, but vet said dont need to treat anymore

okay i know you guys might be getting tired of me asking about giardia,

but i have already treated lotus twice and had her stool checked RIGHT after i had her treated. second treatment was finished a couple days ago and had her stool checked yesterday.

the vet called me today and said the stool still showed positive BUT she told me it is most likely that lotus has been cleared but because she is a puppy the antibodies will still show in her stool. and said we didnt need to treat her anymore for it. (she hasnt had any diarrhea ever since the first treatment) the vet even said she called internal medicine and this what they also told her. because she is so young (16 weeks) the antibodies will still show even after a month of treating her, but we should be good and dont need to treat her anymore.

has anyone ever had this same problem??
