"Giardia is never going to go away on its own, and since the giardia cysts will continue to be shed in his stool, he will likely keep reinfecting himself. Panacur is relatively benign (much more so than metronidazole) and another course…"

"Beau took his last dose of Panacur yesterday. Hoping that this round worked. If it didn't, my husband and I are considering just letting Beau's body eventually get rid of the giardia instead of continuing to load his system with…"

"Perfect thank you!"

"We've had many discussions here about this, some of them quite recently.  Here's a link to a recent comprehensive discussion about this: https://doodlekisses.com/forum/topics/flea-prevention-and-breeder-website"

"Totally unrelated to Beau's giardia (started the Panacur yesterday btw *fingers crossed*), but figured I'd ask here since you all have been so helpful. Beau's vet gave him Interceptor Plus and Nexgard. I went down a google rabbit hole…"

"I definitely will, and I do too!"

"Please keep us posted. I hope things get better. "

"No, it's not Utah and it's not goldendoodles. ALD = Australian Labradoodle. And I'm pretty sure Utah has a much drier cliate than the PNW, which does make a big difference when it comes to giardia and parasites. "

"I read the link, and that sounds awful. My husband picked up a 45 day supply of Proviable-forte today, so we'll start him back on that tonight. And we've decided to try a round of just the Panacur. Crossing our fingers that it work this…"

"Eek I hope that's not the case with my little guy. :( He came from Utah, which I don't think is technically the PNW? *fingers crossed*"

"Just saw this timely article from Texas A & M about the importance of maintaining a heakthy gut microbiome, and it includes the same warning about using antibiotics when not absolutely…"

"One well-known very large scale ALD breeder in particular. It's been discussed here in their group as well as in TFG. I have no idea if she's west, east, whatever. Where have YOU been, lol? "

"WHAT?  (referring to the PNW comment)  You'll have to tell me more separately.  Is it more on the west side?"

"Honestly, poop stinks. The nicest, firmest poop still stinks, regardless of what you feed them. It's never going to smell nice, even when the giardia is completely gone and it's firmed up. I can promise you he doesn;t have an…"

"This is all really helpful. Trying to find good information online is a nightmare. I guess if the giardia goes away and fixes his stool, I can just switch to a more complex puppy food or ALS food? If it still smells and is loose after the giardia is…"
