I get my Acetylator from Vetri-Science direct but your vet may know of another or carry something similiar. Just my two cents worth. I am new here so I hope this post goes where I meant for it to. Have a great day!! Oh forgot to add Giardia is usually from bad water or even a change of water. Use filtered and distilled water and change frequently. Clean water dispenser or bowl well and often.

Thanks! I didn't know that!! and to think of all these animals that drink out of puddles YUCK!
