Sick pup. I bought a pup & he kept having loose stools off & on. Well the vet found he had Giardia & put him on Flygal (sp?) & he is doing good now. Has anyone had experince with this Giardia & will he have any ill effects over having it? |
http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...hlight=giardia http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...hlight=giardia here are a few links to threads about this. |
Thank goodness I haven't ever had to deal with it. I don't think there are any long term effects from it though. Hope he feels better real soon! |
Thanks to Recons & Lily's, I will check out these links. It's great to have help & advice so quickly at hand with YT. He is doing good now but gave me a scare for a day or two cause he is not quite 2 lbs at 4 & 1/2 months & go's 9-0 most all the time. :) |
Congratulations on your new puppy and welcome to YT! |
My puppy came home with coccidia, which is similar to Giardia. The vet gave her Flagyl (sp?) and she has done wonderfully! Until his tummy settles, you should feed him boiled chicken & boiled rice. When he's feeling better, slowly incorporate his normal puppy food in with the chicken/rice. He should be doing better sooN! |
How is the sick little one today? Any better I hope? |
I haven't had any experience but glad there is medication and hope he continues to improve. :-) Jeanne Quote:

P.s. I also had to have my children put on the Flagyl for Giardia because they were handling the puppy and had also contracted it through the pup. Good Luck, Audrey |
hi i have seen this before it comes from people raising puppies outside where they can drink Nasty h20 there are some breeders really should be strung up by there toes no litter of puppies should go out untill 3 days after there first shot and then thats supervised in a puppie safe inviroment that no nasty can be got too there should be no long term side effects aslong as u finnish your bout of meds and get your puppies stool rechecked but untill adult hood if you puppie drinks nasty H20 you may see it again sorry about the nasty tummy ache!!! |
