Heard back from the vet today and Lacy is doing really well. :-) She is not 100% cured of the giardia, but close. I don't know how they measure it, but previously, she was measured at a 30 count, now she is down to 2. YEA!!! The vet said that some puppies never get rid of giardia, until they are an adult and have a stronger immune system, (and some dogs never get rid of it) so he said he thought it would be okay to just leave her be for now and see how she does. The one thing that really bugs me, is that her poop is still very soft, it almost always leaves a residue on the UGO pad when she poops. I never had that problem with my other Yorkies, when I picked up their poop, it left no residue behind. So it just means a whole lot more cleaning. Is this common? Do any of you have pups that always have soft stool? The vet said he doesn't think her soft stool is a result of the giardia, and suggested putting her on Royal Canine Gastrointestinal diet and see how she does, so we will do that.

I previously said I would have a champagne toast party for Lacy when she is finally cured of the giardia, and although she is not 100% cured, I still want to have a party to celebrate her return to good health. So, how many of you live close enough that you would want to come over for a party? And of course you can bring your own Yorkie, or Biewer, or whatever you have! There will be champagne and appies for the adults and puppy treats for the kids. I live in Scottsdale Arizona. I know Anne lives in Phoenix, and someone else lives in Fountain Hills. Surely, there must be others that are within driving distance for a little celebration? And it would be wonderful to meet some of the YT members! So please RSVP and let me know if you can attend.

(Joan, I so wished you lived close enough to come!!!)
