I have a 5 month Presa Canario pup. She was diagnosed with Giardia at 11 weeks. We were told by the vet to put her on panacur c for 6-7 days. We were also told that the only way to get it was via contaminated water or fecal matter contaminated by it. I asked about our older dog drinking out of our pups water bowl and was assured that our older god would be fine. I was also never told about washing toys, disinfecting or bathing my pup after her treatment. She is now on her 3rd treatment because she is coming up positive for giardia yet again. After reading all of this I have now lost faith in my vet. I’m shocked that these preventative measures weren’t discussed with us. The good news is she continues to gain weight. She went from 36lbs to 49.6 in 4 weeks. She is on a steady diet of earthborn holistic and had crazy energy. I don’t want this pup having further issues down the road with this parasite. I have ordered Kocci free and probiotics as well as added garlic and carrots to her food. I will treat her with panacur for 5 days then try retreating her after 10 days rest from treatment. Any other suggestions are welcome.
Question has anyone tried using grapefruit seed oil in their dogs food to help combat this nasty parasite?
