Well this is very distressing. Thanks for the tip. He was sold to me WITH the Giardia. She did tell me to get him tested when I got him, that she had gotten a call from another lady who purchased a puppy from her recently, and that that puppy had Giardia. Had him tested and we've been battling it ever since. I took him home 1/29/14. He was 14 weeks. Will be 6 months in another 3 weeks. I do have an appointment to neuter 4/16, now wondering if I should cancel. He's been on two rounds of Panacure and now is on the first week of an enzyme treatment that is supposed to eat any Giardia left in the system. If he was negative after the first round this week, I was not going to repeat it, as he was already negative when I started this regime. The protocol is to do one week of treatment, one of rest and then another week of treatment. We just finished the first week. Anyway will talk to Vet about the Probiotic Dogzymes Probiotic Max. Thanks a lot Ann. I can't wait to get rid of this thing!!!!
