When I first got Lucca she had ear mites and a yeast infection in her ears, round worm, and then later diagnosed with Giardia. At the time she was around 3 mths old. Now she is seven months old and she has giardia again!!!!! I can't believe it's back..and they said to give her the pills for 10 days and then bring back a stool sample and see if it is gone. They also said some giardia is resistant to certain medication. She is taking Metronidazole 2 times a day for 10 days. Her breeder is located in a rural area in Oregon near the border of Idaho--where I guess giardia is common...but, there is no way she got it from the water in our backyard in Portland, Oregon. So...I have no idea how she got it again...unless it was lying dormant in her body and just reappeared.
I have read several entries where other doodle had giardia..but did your dogs ever get it again? and if so ...HOW!
