My poor baby ... When will she start to feel better? I hate to have her go thru anything. But none of us want to see our babies under the weather.
I'm a little confused; did the vet say that you dog had Giardia and Coccidia, and worms, or that she was testing for Giardia and Coccidia and worms? They are three different things, but all can live in the intestinal tract, and you test for them through a fecal sample. From my understanding, Giardia and Coccidia are much more serious than worms. Your best bet is to call your vet, and describe the symptoms, and ask her when Abby should feel better. Make sure you get the correct diagnosis; you will have much more cleaning to do if it's Giardia and Coccidia than if it's worms. Worms are not as serious, and much more easily treated. Hope Abby feels better really soon.
