She's doing better now, and isn't having any trouble with going potty, and we have just a few more days of her medicine to give her and we will have another stool sample tested to make sure the parasites are all gone and that she is better. |
Well its good that you know what the issue was and your pup is on the mend. That Giardia can be a pretty hard thing to deal with. If she had this it was probably something she got from the litter. I've seen situations where an entire litter of puppies had it. Not something you want the wee little ones to suffer from but it happens and thankfully if caught in time can be taken care of quickly with meds.
