“I’m not doing research on anything. We have a great vet and do what she says. She said no heartworm treatment until the giardia is gone. It’s a little complicated in that the heartworm treatments are coming from the vet at the rescue (we dont pay so we’re going back there), but they can talk as needed. She’s a Texas A&M vet which is the only school I’d take my pets to. A&M is the best for veterinary schools, at least in this area”
“She said Synacore was the best bc it has more than just probiotics in it. Potatoes were not given as an option for her diet right now, only chicken, white rice, pumpkin, goats milk until Monday. We’re closely following her guidelines, so while I appreciate other advice, we won’t be following it if it contradicts what the vet says.”
“The vet didnt seem to think it was hard to treat at all- she said normally the dewormer alone works but we dont want to wait any longer and have her lose more weight so she added the antibiotic today anyway. She does do 5 days of dewormer instead of the recommended 3 so maybe that’s the difference?”

YAY! EXACTLY! Go by what the vet advises, no one else! Myself included, lol
Sometimes I have to stop reading these type of forums for a while because I cringe at some of the advice being doled out. My vet rolled his eyes when I mentioned online pet forums.
PS: I have heard of the wormer being given 5 days vs 3, vet wants to be sure it works.
Lucy is on the road to recovery! I detect a positive vibe. And don’t think she isn’t aware of all the care you are giving her, it will aid in her overcoming her ailments 🙂
