[nagdu] recheck for Giardia?

Fri Mar 23 17:34:43 UTC 2012

Marsha,
I've been told that giardia is a parasite in the stomach and it comes from
drinking bad water, the dirt, and from the kennels. Giardia can cause gas in
the stomach along with other unpleasant things; I think Princess is getting
it all out in the past few days and continues to do so because her butt area
smells awful right after she goes potty. Hope this is a good sign and that
it all gets out.
Btw humans can also get giardia.

Steve, 

Does seem a bit weird, that a school would let two dogs go home with
Giardia. How many other dogs from those two classes have come home with
Giardia too? 

I can safely say this is something I have never had to deal with. Can
someone on list, explain to those of us who are Giardia virgins, what it is?

So, does anyone else find it interesting that at least 2 dogs in the past
couple of months from the same school, have tested positive for?

Just thinking out loud.

Chantel,
I believe you have to get your dog rechecked for giardia because the Pilot
health form asks for the results. You should take the stool sample in as
soon as possible, and they want it as fresh as you can provide.
Princess just got checked for it and she still has it. Not sure if it's from
when we were at Pilot, but I hope the medicine she got treated for was
effective; I have to take her in for another giardia check in about a month.
Best, Hannah and Princess

Hi all, 

I asked this on another list, but I thought I'd ask it here as well.
Tomorrow, Motley has to go to the vet for an exam so Pilot Dogs can see how
he is doing healthwise. 

\We just came home from Pilot two weeks ago, and while we were there, he was
positive for Giardia and was treated for it. 

Would it be smart for me to have him rechecked? If so, how fresh does the
stool sample need to be in order to get the results we need? Also, if the
vet takes the sample himself, how does it work? 

Thanks, 

Chantel and Motley
