reddobeluva will become famous soon enough
Sully has Giardia

Heres the update I went to the vet today and she said that he has giardia. SO, now he has some pills to take, and a GI paste in a syringe that I give him orally to restore the essential bacteria in his intestinal tract, and she also gave me some EN wet food to feed him over the next few days. The food is for dogs with gastritis pancreatitis diarrhea and so on. He was supposed to get his second distemper shot today but she wants to wait until hes better to vaccinate. Hopefully he will be feeling much better in a couple of days! I'll keep you posted!

I had to look that up to see what it was and from what I read it seems easy enough to cure. I sure hope Sully is feeling better soon.

Giardia is believed to encrust in cysts and break again when stressed. Its also hard to find in a stool sample even a fresh one because it has to be shedding at the time the sample is taken. Did they do the elisa test?

I got giardia once when they put me on an antibiotic for bronchitis that killed off all the good bacteria in my stomach. They put me on metranitizole, aka flagel. I'll bet that is what Sully is on too. the paste is a probiotic fulll of good bacteria......Sully will be fine
