Thanks for the advice. Tried a couple different things yesterday and the pup looks better and ate the best I have seen it eat since I owned it. I hope it is agood sign but she has been up and down. She is having a good day today, and maybe it will keep going in the right direction. I am gonna keep the plan I have going now for a couple days.

I dont know what with. but Albon wont get rid of Giardia.
you need to get some probotics in the pup.
i am sure all the meds has depleated all the good bacteria as well .

i have had great sucsses treating with the safeguard, the 7 day is almost obsolete our vet went to a 10 day treatment and i use this

Giardia is often is mis diagnosed as coccidiosis. but if not in a specific stage they wont see it.
good luck with yor pup.
I repeated myself and bold lettered the part about Valbazen for giardia. I've treated for both using Valbazen.

The pup looks 100% better and her stools are finally solid again. Dont know what she had but sulmet, gatorade, and baytril(i think is correct) antibiotic, one or all must have worked. Still not out of the woods but making progress. Now she has to catch up with the rest. Its amazing what a couple bad weeeks will do to a pup in growing versus healthy pups.

How much valbazen for pups? I have a bottle that I use on my big dogs and was just wondering.

A good size 9 week old pup I would give 1cc per day.

Glad to hear your puppy is better. :D
