CARRINGTON Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 I finally found a vet here where I live!!! I called them and said what my other vet had done recommending science diet although he was on it when we first got him and had runny poops so was switched to the sensitive stomach by the vet with still runny poops which didn't stop until we switched to TOTW. The vet said do not change his food if it works and a lot of the vets use science diet. They asked if our vet did a stool sample and we said no, so they asked us to bring in one to them today. So we brought it in along with Balto and they asked the one question that I never thought of and the other vet never asked "did he go to the puppy park?" We said yes about 5 days before symptoms started and they said sounds like giradia (sp?) or another parasite. They ran the stool tests and it was positive he has giradia I of course freaked out but the vet said he looks like he is doing well as he is a hyper husky, eats normally, drinks normally, chases the cat like normal he just has diarrhea. So he is on three different pills which will clear it right up!!!! I am so glad we found a vet and didn't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frenchie Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Glad you found a good vet more concerned about your pet than making some extra money on selling food that they're probably sponsored to sell...

Removed #5 Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Just for a little more information, you might want to look here which tells how to clean up to prevent a recurrence. The CDC has a whole set of pages about guardia ... very informative and not too scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
