[nagdu] Giardia

[Natalie]

Hi Hannah,
My previous guide, Whitney, had giardia four or five times during the first 
year I had her.  Despite treatment with Metronidazole, (not quite sure of 
spelling), the vet eventually have to give her a vaccination, then she quit 
getting it.  Liam only had it once.  Not sure what the deal is, and maybe 
someone else can shed some light on this, but in some dogs, and maybe it's a 
particular strain of giardia, but sometimes it is stubborn.  Good luck in 
whatever treatment course you guys take.  Wow, that stuff is some kind of 
crazy, lol.
Best,
Nat and Liam Joshua
