Subject: Re: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Giardia
Metronidazole should never be
given to a puppy (possible neuro issues) AND it's not the best or most
effective treatment for giardia anyway. Panacure is good. If it's in
the environment a dog can re-infect. How on earth did the dogs get "larger
worms" while being monitored/treated for giardia? No, it has nothing to do
w/ raw feeding BUT I would question the damage done to the natural flora to the
dog's GI tract w/ multiple rounds of RXs and strongly recommend a good
probiotic.

I got this e-mail from a friend of mine. I told her I would post
this to the list and Facebook for her. She's been battling Giardia with
a dog she bought last Fall as a young puppy. The dog has been under her vet's
care, but is getting worse.
Okay
so here is the story I bought this dog back in Sept. the first week
in
Oct
he has this smelly diarrhea treated him with metronidazole
and
amoxicillin
the diarrhea went away then came back in couple of weeks again
treated
him with the same medications, went away and came back this has been
going
on since I brought him home, last Oct. It's getting frustrating the
vet
says he has giardia and now he has larger worms going on so now has
on
panacur.
Yes this dog was feed a raw diet when I purchased him don't know if
that
had anything to do with this. He's supposed to be a show dog but I
can't
get his coat or him in any condition.
