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.
I found that Sissy loves yogurt. In fact, since she stopped eating her dry food, yogurt has become her breakfast. I buy her the Dannon Activia with the good bacteria in it. She gets 1/4 a container each morning.

My vet told us that standing water almost always contains Giardia. Sissy got it after several days of non-stop rain.
