Btw, the incubation period for giardia is such that, yes, she most definitely had giardia when she was with the breeder - so the other puppies most def have it too. Giardia is not uncommon in puppies, but it's a total pain! In addition, giardia can actually digest tissues of the small intestine in puppies (but not adult dogs) -- so I'd get Lacy on a pro-biotic ASAP or you could have longer term GI issues like I did w/ my Marcel who also had giardia as a puppy. I'd suggest Natures Farmacy probiotics...get the 8oz.

The vet isn't really correct about giardia's affect on humans. In healthy humans, it can go undetected bc of no symptoms..in others, some diarrhea...and that's about the extent of it.
