Help, worms Abby had her stool sample done when she went to get her Rabies vaccine and the vet said she has giardia and coccidiosis. She gave her 2 meds to take, 1 for 5 days and the other for 9. How did she get this. She doesn't go to many places. Is there anything I should be doing to my house? Any one know about this? |
I would call the Vet and ask what cleaner to use in her crate or play yard and your floors...I would wash all her bedding and yours...Cause I think humans can get giardia as well...I would clean everything with bleach, just rinse really well...Hopefully someone else will chime in that knows a little more about it than me...Sorry wish I could be more help...Good luck. |
I found this for cleaning and I also seen that humans can get it...so clean clean clean...I would clean her area everytime after she pottied, I would also wash her bedding and yours on a daily bases...thur out her treatment and after for awhile just to be on the safe side...and if you have other dogs or cats, they need to be treated as well. Thoroughly clean all areas where the dog defecates after treatments are completed. I suggest a 30 parts water to 1 part bleach solution to kill any lingering giardia parasites. Allow this solution to sit for a half hour before rinsing off or reintroducing dogs to the area. |
Thanks. I have already washed all of the bedding and throw rugs.I did some floor washing but haven't finished it yet. Also she hasn't really been eating much the last 2 days and I don't know if this is part of having worms or if it is something else. She usually dives into her wet food and she still hasn't eaten a bite after a few hours. She is still playing and she is also sleeping a lot as well. She had her rabies shot yesterday so I am dealing with a lot of possibilites. |

no she took her temp and everything was ok so she gave her the shot. I brought the sample with me and the dr. called this morning with results. I had to go pick up the meds which I gave her already. |
Rabies alone will make them sleep alot and they won't be that hungry for a few days...and I'm sure the giardia and coccidiosis is effecting her too...I'm surprised your Vet went ahead and gave her the Rabies with her already sick with giardia and coccidiosis....Poor baby :( I sure hope she starts feeling better soon. |

The vet did not know she had the worms until the day after the shot was given. My poor baby ... When will she start to feel better? I hate to have her go thru anything. But none of us want to see our babies under the weather. |

Ok I will get some cottage cheese. Also, I am washing everything but what do I do about the sofas and the bed itself. Is there some kind of spray that I can use to kill off these critters? |
Lysol spray and I would vacuum it. |
Ok thanks |

Well Nancy your right. I may be confused myself. I can tell you that she gave me paper work on Giardia and Coccidiosis. I am not sure if worms were ever really said. It was a stool sample that diagnosed this. I think because of this I assumed worms. She has also prescribed Panacur and Albon/Coccidiostat of which Abby started today with no problems taking it. She did say one of things she probably had since I got her. I can't remember which but when I brought her for her very first checkup they tested the stool and everything was fine. How would she have gotten these things? |
