My 4 year old Aussie was diagnosed with giardia 5 days ago. She was originally given metronadizol for the diarrhea before we found out it was giardia. We were then given panacur for 5 days. She is having formed movements that are immediately followed by a watery diarrhea, in the same bowel movement. Today was her last dose of the panacur and And she is still experiencing those same bowel movements. My vet told us to give her a bland diet until her stools firm up. I gave her a very small amount of her normal kibble today mixed with the bland food and the panacur. I’m worried the medicine isn’t working and she’s going to need more. I bathed her today and I have been sanitizing my house all week. I feel like it’s hard for her to have a sufficient bowel movement on rice and ground beef.
