The first round of Pancur treatment for Sissy didn't work and a month later the traces of Giardia became a mass outbreak. She won't have a repeat stool for another couple weeks since they wanted to wait 60 days after treatment this time (as her treatment was much longer). So, we'll have to wait and see what that shows.

In the meantime, she has been well with no diarrhea, mucous or blood. Time will tell with Sissy. I have been told it is difficult to rid and may require multiple treatments. Good luck with Angel. I would have another stool sample done to make sure the Giardia is gone.
I called the vet's office to ask if I needed to wait a certain number of days before giving the sample and they said no. They said I could bring one in the same day I finished the meds, but I brought one in the day after because it was late and she hadn't had a bowel movement.

I hope Sissy gets better soon. Does her stool look normal? What does normal stool look like?
