Giardia I did lots of home work and learned that giardia shots are not recommended for toy size yorkies. Today Maksim went to a lake and enjoyed swimming. Now I'm all worred if we got giardia. What to do now? |
Giardia vaccines aren't recommended at all. I guess some vets use them, but that isn't current protocol by vet schools, etc. The same goes for corona. You don't have to do anything except take your pup to the vet anything you see concerning symptoms. A bath wouldn't hurt after a day in the lake. |
Yeah I wouldn't recommend a giardia vaccine to any pet of any size. My Cairn had giardia and the symptoms were upset belly...Really upset belly. So just watch out for it.. FYI - my Cairn got it because there was a bird feeder in the breeder's back yard that she thought the pups couldn't get to. Well, being terriers they did and were exposed to the bird poop that had the parasite in it. Dang stuff, it's a pain. |
