Puppy bacteria help?
I'm pretty sure that metronidazole is the only medication that is used to treat Giardia. It's an antibiotic that also helps reduce inflammation in the colon. It is frequently prescribed for dogs with diarrhea, but for giardia a larger dose for a longer amount of time is frequently prescribed.





It is also sometimes called "Flagyl" (the brand name). Try googling it and see what you come up with.





ADD: It is very effective for the treatment of giardia. Reinfection occurs when your dog contracts the parasite from contaminated water sources, IE drinking water out of lakes or ponds that fecal matter from infected animals runs into. You can also research what giardia is and how it is passed on the Center For Disease Control government website, http://www.cdc.gov
Reply:that is a question for your vet. has the pup been tested for giardia and if so was this med given by the vet? if so then use it they know best on treatments
Reply:Yes, metronidazole is a very effective antibacterial and antiprotozoal agent for treating giardia.
Reply:Get your puppy on canine Essentials, this will help with the bacteria, and help the puppys immuine system.I give this to my dog everyday.And she is very healthy.
