Giardia Update: It’s Finally Over!

I’m happy to say that Mila is all better! If you read my last post, you’ll already know that my new Morkie puppy, Mila, was diagnosed with Giardia (an intestinal parasite) only a week after I brought her home. My best guess is that she picked up from a neighboring dog. Anyway, after ten days of antibiotics and even more days of isolation, a call from the vet confirmed that it’s finally over.

Does Your Dog Have Giardia?

A few days ago, we received a call from the vet saying that our new puppy has Giardia, a yucky intestinal parasite that is spread through fecal matter. It’s hard to tell where she contracted it from, but now I am waiting to hear whether our kitten, previously clear of all parasites, has also been infected. In the meantime, we have to keep the two separated (they aren’t very happy about this arrangement!).
