My first thought was to tell you to go ahead and treat it on your own. You can buy Panacur C over the counter at http://www.healthypets.com, Costco, Chewy.com along with some other places cheaper than at the vet’s office. If you do, give it to the pup for 5 days rather than three and then repeat 10 to 14 days later. Giardia can be intermittent and often takes more than one treatment or remedy to get rid of it.

However….what if it isn’t Giardia this time? A fecal test may be in order. My pups ended up getting Coccidia after they had giardia when they were pups and it calls for a different drug to get rid of it. Best luck to you. Puppies can be a lot of work, can’t they? But their immune systems will get stronger as they grow and hopefully be able to fight stuff off easier!
