The vet I saw this week was out when I went to pick up the panacur, but she only left 5 days worth. I asked them to ask another vet for 10 days worth. That vet refused and said 5 days worth should do...

But also now we need to figure out how to really kick this giardia since it's been around for a longgggg time

And the results are in...he still has giardia!! I'm glad we're with a new vet who believes that giardia can stick around and that you almost need 3 negative fecals to prove it's gone as opposed to...

Thanks Scoutpout I definitely agree. I guess I'm not totally convinced yet that he doesn't still have giardia so I want to get that ruled out. Hopefully will hear back from his vet about the latest...

Wanted to give an update on this in case anyone was interested.

Waited for 1.5 weeks to hear back from my vet on a more intensive fecal test. By the time I heard back, we were about to move out...

Just heard back from the breeder! WindyCanyon I definitely think a food change is in order. He said they feed the pups whatever the mom had been doing best on, which was Diamond in this scenario, but...

According to the fecals the giardia is cured, that's why we're moving on to see what else could be the problem.

Hahaha Jeff, hopefully we'll see some of that strong like bull poop soon!

Just spoke to the vet and she said that she will look up pricing to do a more involved fecal test. She said she hadn't mentioned it to me because she got the sense that "financially" I didn't want to...

I just emailed his breeder. They're pretty slow to respond to emails, better on the phone, but I thought maybe they'd have a suggestion.

So overwhelmed AND incredibly thankful for all the advice! Jeff I read through your amazing PM and sent my vet a long email (which she of course has not responded to). I'm going to stop in there...

Alright I just spoke to the vet (who I don't 100% love, but there aren't any other options where I am right now)

She wants to us to do another round of the metranidozole and continue on the...

Thank you for the article! The psyllium husk is definitely an interesting idea. He poops 1-2 times per day and it is usually a really long poop with a lot of straining and walking around while in...

WindyCanyon - we are a little stumped about where he keeps picking it up, but it must be from himself. Unfortunately we are being as careful as we can be. Basically the only way we could be more...

Tammy - I totally agree! I find the 1% statistics very hard to believe. Unless we're all just within that unlucky 1%. I will PM Jeff to find out more after talking with my vet.

Annette - Those two are too cute! I just watched the puppy obedience videos you posted :love-struck:

I was actually going to transition off Diamond at the end of this bag anyway, for all of those...

Hmm okay, thank you for all the advice! I'm going to go back to the vet with 1. my decision to start with the medicine and 2. questions about why she thinks a food change is a good step - is it...

You're asking excellent questions! Which I will probably go back to the vet with :)

I'm feeding Diamond Naturals Chicken & Rice right now, which he was on with his breeder. The vet didn't give any...

Hello all! For anyone who has seen my past posts, Bubba has had giardia the entire time we've had him. He finally got a clean fecal back at just over 4 months old! Unfortunately he is still having...
