How old is MJ again? For puppies, giardia can actually be quite devastating bc the giardia can actually digest the small intestine tissue...this can wreak havoc and completely change the flora of the sm intestine, causing diarrhea for many months even though the giardia is gone. If I were you, I'd be supplementing w/ a probiotic while treating him and after the giardia is gone for a while. You could use Benebac powder or the probio from Nature's Farmacy. |
His last poop was actually solid!! But thanks for the tip! He is 4 months.
