I agree on the panacur. Giardia cysts can be extremely difficult to find. Try the panacur for sure. Also, you may be giving too much Tylan.......a vet breakdown had it at 1/8 tsp for 100 lbs. The other thing you can do is add psyllium fibre to the food (metamucil). Frequently our dogs are requiring more fibre.
