@Susan Thanks for saying what I was somehow unable to say. I have been thoroughly reading every article you provided! It’s been a lot of help and a lot of fun learning about new things for my dogs!
@anon101, I had a 16 year old Maltese that I’ve had that I loved so dearly. She lived such a happy long life until we caught an inoperable, growing tumor in her gums. We were prescribed medications, I assume steroids, to soothe her pain, and after 4 days on treatment, it looked like the meds were sucking the life out of her, literally. She lay there limp and unable to stand up, or even to look straight and properly. I took her off those meds and she sprung right back up. She eventually passed in my arms, the pain was too much for her. Ever since then, I believe what’s best for my fur kids is a healthy diet and natural healing, or as close too. I don’t mind medication when it’s needed, but if there’s a way to take care of it naturally, I will almost always try it. Thank you for your concern of Penelope. She is now on Panacur for 5 days, with home made food and kibble. Taking some kefir after in case the meds give her an weird tummy. She’s loving everything so far. And my other dog Charlie is on it as well. I also ordered Panacur for a second round online.
Also, Susan, have you heard of kochi free? Some other doggie forums were talking about trying kocchi free if Panacur did not get rid of the Giardia.
Thank you everyone for your replies! I really am reading everything and soaking everything in. I just want the best for my babies is all!
