Re: Giaridia and Diarrhea for 3 months

Giardia is a tough parasite to get rid of...and from what I know it actually stays with the dog its entire life but a healthy dog with good immune can keep it in check. I did one week panacur treatment, one week off and 5 days on again. My poor dog had giardia for 6 months before we knew what it was and got treatment. I also started him on probiotics to help his digestive system.

If your pup is still having diahrrea after several treatments I would look at other things that may be affecting your pup. I notice you have changed foods several times and this in itself will stress a dogs digestive system. Also a stressed dog has a harder time keeping giardia in check, so if you are over stressing the pup with other activities that might be another cause for the continued symptoms.

Good luck, if you search the internet for giardia you can find out good information.
