She gave me panacur and told me to give him 0.6ml for 5 days. I am wondering if she checked for Giardia....Is this part of the same test? After reading another post from someone's pup dying from it coming from the same breeder....I have become really paranoid. Also, the vet suggested that maybe my pup had mites because of little pimple on his body from scratching, but I honnestly think its from his new shampoo we are using since a week. Is mites and ear mites the same? Wouldn't they test this with a camera in the ear?
Do you guys suggest I bring my pup to another vet for another stool sample before anything? My pup seems healthy and eats well and is active. With giardia, would he be this way? |
My experience with Guardia was a long time ago, but the vets will still tell you if 1 pup in a litter has it, it is likely they all have it. It is very contagious among pets and can be transferred to people too. Your pup doesn't sound like the symptoms usually described for pups with it. They are usually very lethargic. I don't think it would hurt to find out for sure though.
