[nagdu] recheck for Giardia?

[Hannah Chadwick]

Cindy,
Pilot asks all their students to go to the vet two weeks after they
graduate. I think this is to check and make sure the dogs are healthy.
Princess had loose stool for a week or so after we came home, and I think it
might be due to the changes plus the milk bone since she's never had one of
those before. I don't think giardia shoed up in her daily stools though
because they were pretty healthy til the vet determined that it had giardia
in it.

I would guess that the dog was suffering from the giardia all along. I
wonder if Pilot goes over the vet record with the handler. If they didn't
recheck her and find her negative when Hannah left, then it seems as if they
should have pointed that out to her and said that if she had symptoms she
should go to the vet. In fact, if she was still positive, they should have
sent her home with medication in my opinion. Of course I don't know all of
the details first hand, but that's sort of how I'm feeling about it right
now.

Cindy
