Frustrated!! Good Morning YT peeps!
I posted a while back about all 3 of my furbutts picking up giardia and an intestinal bacteria back in the beginning of July. I treated them for 7 days with metronidozole and fortiflora. Then I posted again that they still had soft stools even after the meds were gone. So....back on the meds. Well...I am not seeing an improvement...They don't have the diarrhea and mucus anymore but still very soft sticky poop....Called the vet back yesterday, (both the vets there are on vaca...they have another vet there right now) She said to keep doing what I am doing but, also gave me panacur to give them along with Iams low residue canned food...told me not to give them ANYTHING but this canned food for 5 days. I don't like giving too many meds to the pups. they reassured me that they wouldn't have any reaction giving them both metronidozole and the panacur. I haven't given them the dose of panacur yet. I have to go out in an hour...and will be back in an hour. I want to give it to them when I am home,,,,just incase something happens then I can get them to the vet, I would think that is something were to happen it would happen within at least an hour after giving it to them...what are your thoughts on this....it's not that I don't trust my vet...I do! it's just that my vets aren't there right now..UGH!
Oh! and I was also told that it can take quite some time to get rid of this bacteria in their intestines...
