How to treat a puppy with Giardia?

How To Get Rid Of Giardia In Dogs. I Cured My Frenchie! Giardia is a microscopic parasite that causes the diarrheal illness known as giardiasis. Giardia (also known as Giardia intestinalis, Giardia lamblia, or Giardia duodenalis) is found on surfaces or in soil, food, or water that has been contaminated with feces (poop) from infected humans or animals.

"Giardia intestinalis infection is a common cause of diarrhoea in humans and other mammalian species throughout the world. This report describes a case of a dog suffering from diarrhoea, infected with G. intestinalis, effectively treated with azithromycin. Azithromycin is an azalide, semisynthetic macrolide antibiotic having a large spectrum of activity against bacterial pathogens and some protozoa. In this case, Giardia infection in a dog was confirmed by microscopic examination and PCR. Sequencing of the detected Giardia amplicon confirmed infection with assemblage A-I. The dog received azithromycin administered at dose of 10 mg/kg per os, once a day for 5 days. After the therapy, the diarrhoea stopped. Effectiveness of the treatment was also confirmed by PCR and microscopic examination. This is the first report on the therapy of canine giardiosis with azithromycin. It seems that azithromycin can be considered as promising antibiotic for the control of Giardia infection in dogs."

My coworker has a puppy with horrible diarrhea and tested positive for Giardia. After months of therapy and a lot of tears nothing worked until I found your KZbin video. My friends vet was skeptical but ordered Azithromycin and it immediately worked!! So thankful for YOU!

[@JuliaCaban]

That makes me so happy!! :) I'm so glad it worked for your pup as well! ❤

[@jessicaj9442]

I'm literally crying watching this... Our pup is only 9 weeks and we found out he's positive. We've only had him for 2 weeks, got him from a rescue. We took him to the vet and today they called and said he is positive for Giardia and they found cysts as well.

[@jeggernautic_]

is your still alive?

[@tess5213]

My German Shepherd pup had Giardia. 2 treatments with the vet's antibiotics and she still came up positive. After watching your video I told our vet that I wanted her on the azythromycin. He said he had never used it for giardia, but gave it a try. Her next poop test 4 weeks later came back negative. My vet said "you cannot argue with these results". So I want to thank you for posting this video. It saved my baby from more rounds of antibiotics, that probably would only have had a negative effect on her poor "little" gut bacteria.

[@JuliaCaban]

I’m so happy to hear that!!! I’m glad you shared your story with me :) that was my hope for this video - I wanted people to find a better solution than multiple antibiotics treatments that have serious side effects on those little puppies. Thank you, Tess! ❤️

[@marylynne311]

Great information and thank you for posting this video. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@rienjen]

I was talking to my vet today, and found out that a lot of times, there's a false-positive of giardia when the animal actually has another parasite called crypotosporidium. It must look almost identical on a fecal test, and symptoms are the same. The treatment for crypo is...Azithromycin. I'm wondering if your vet consistently mistook your dog's crypo as giardia and never thought it might be something else, despite the giardia treatment failing to work. That's on him; it's okay for a doctor not to know everything, but he should have asked for a specialist in giardia after the first failed attempt. I'm glad you got the right meds to do the job regardless.

I am grateful to find your video. I have my new pup less than a week and find out she is Giardia positive. We are a few days in and I am already beside myself. She has trained so well I’m only a few days. But this parasite is making the joy disappear. She is eating her poop when we turn for a moment, it’s like she holds it until she is alone just to feast 😩😩😩. She just finished 5 day treatment. Now we wait 2 weeks and treat again, but after watching your experience I will have a chat with vet. I have noticed within 48 hours her bones are showing through her flesh. She is only 3 lbs so I am fearful her health will suffer.

[@msama007]

We have a Cairn Terrier who was diagnosed with giardia at around 3 months old. He did eat his own poop as well but was fine at the time with no loose stools. We went through one round of treatment and tested again with a positive result. So we thought the vet was probably taking us for a ride because he showed no symptoms... After a few months, when he was 10 months old, he pooped some dark green gooey stuff one night. He was in so much pain that he yelped. His immune system took a toll as well. He had reactive lymphocytes symptoms, big bumps all over his body... We don't know for sure if that's caused by giardia but it certainly doesn't help with his health condition. Last week, he pooped liquid with fresh blood. I freaked out and felt so hopeless until I watched your video! We'll request our vet to prescript Azithromycin. Hopefully I can update good results as well. Thank you so much for sharing your experience!!

I’m sorry your little fur baby was sick for so long. He has wonderful parents that love and care for him so well.💖 My Frenchie, Harry, passed about a month ago. He was the same color and looked a lot like your Frenchie.💝 Harry passed from natural causes. He was home with loved ones. He wasn’t with strangers in a strange place. I thank God for that blessing and I’m so grateful.🙏🏻🐶💖 I sure miss my Harry…💔 You may want to look into good probiotics and other things for your Frenchie. I know the type of meds he was on can be hard on the digestive system and for so long. A good canine chiropractor, especially for Frenchies, is something I wish someone would have told me of when I got Harry. A good chiropractor to keep your Frenchie aligned when he’s young is important. If he’s kept in alignment he will have less or no issues when he gets older. Unlike some older Frenchie do. Our chiropractor is in Northridge one day a week at Northridge Animal Medical Center on Reseda Blvd. She’s in different areas during the week. So maybe she might be closer to you in a different day? Her fee is fair and she doesn’t “over treat” like some chiropractors. I’ve had better luck with vets that use “natural” cures or treatments first, before medication. Plus any vaccines needed are “mercury free” and they don’t cost more. There’s the top Vet on KZbin and he uses natural cures and treatments for his clients and he is fantastic! He will answer your questions if he sees them too. He has a lot of great videos about things that are so simple and cost much less than supplements. He does a lot of preventative care with simple foods too.

White vinegar is a great disinfectant. You can also try presoak fabrics with some vinegar. The acid in vinegar crosses the bacteria’s cell membrane, prompting a release of protons, which causes the cell to die.

Currently, our kitten has giardia. She had severe diarreah. it is her 5th day of medication and her body responded to medication pretty well. i hope she gets completely cleared on her 7th day. i know for some, it is common to go back and forth to the vet more than 5x or so. I hope we do not go through that. Her stool is no longer droopy or watery. I had to force feed her water through syringe. doxycycline (antibacterial) metronidazole (antibiotic) nova folha (probiotic) and constant cleaning i hope whoever goes through this will help this video and testimonials

[@Bratmonsta]

I was waiting for you to mention diatomaceous earth because i mentioned it in my search. Anyhow, i had giardia issue for years. Metronidazole was completely useless and i think was only damaging to their internal organs. I have 6 cats and it is impossible to clean home of something microscopic so i found something i hope that will help us recover and keep it at bay. I give diatomaceous earth to all of my cats and so far they stopped having runny stool and vomiting. I add DE to their biscuits and drinking water on regular basis and give capsuls dipped into coconut oil by mouth.

[@JuliaCaban]

I tried DE and it did nothing for Tortellino:( He started having blood in his stool after introducing DE so I had to stop the treatment. It’s possible the DE I had was not the best quality but I picked the one that was safe for internal use.

[@nadezhdasaleh3435]

Julia Caban May I ask what DE you used? All this additional information is also useful. I am using food grade DE that has good reviews, link below. Using the correct DE is essential because the size of particles must be close to the size of bacteria. www.amazon.com/Diatomaceous-Earth-Food-Grade-10/dp/B00025H2PY/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?keywords=diatomaceous+earth+food+grade&qid=1577436720&s=instant-video&sprefix=diat&sr=1-1-catcorr

[@pietvillarin5667]

Hi Julia! Very informative video how many grams of Azithromycin do you use per dog pound?

[@godgivennutrition2263]

Is it the medicine? Or the treatment protocol? Generally panacur is given 1ml per 5lb of body weight for five days. However, a study was done where infected dogs in a kennel were given Panacur for 5 days, then their areas were disinfected (bleach/water) and the dogs were bathed, THEN the dogs were treated for an additional five days and washed at the end of the ten day treatment, this resulted in 99% of the dogs testing negative. Panacur is fenbendazole 10%... There is a medicine called Safeguard (which is labeled for goats) BUT the SAME EXACT medicine (Fenbendazole 10%) which is available over the counter for about $35. The dose is the same as Panacur. Knowledge is power... and healthy pets and people is the goal!

I have had my puppy since December 16 and he has just been diagnosed. I cannot believe it, I spent the whole night looking it up on the internet and I am close to losing my marbles.

Am I seriously not going to ever be able to walk her in parks and let her run free, not able to meet up with friends and their dogs for she can potentionally make them very sick?..

I really hope azythromycin will help your pup as well 🙏 So far giardia came back only once and azythromycin helped us again - since then (it's been a few years) no issues! So, so grateful ❤️ Some vets are difficult about using azythromycin for giardia, but there are studies out there and you can point them to it.

She is now just pooping blood. Really worried.

I got it at my local vet clinic. I know that they gave me the same medication they give to humans so I paid a lot less than if it would be a special version for pets :) It was like $20 or less for the whole treatment. I would contact your vet and ask for it.

They can provide the correct dosage and guide you on the best course of action for your furry friend's health. I hope your pup feels better soon! 🐶💙

The vet recommend us to do a PCR screen for my puppy, which cost over $300. we already spent a lot for vet visit, can not afford it anymore, so we refused. me and my son have to supervise the pup overnight because she would poop 3-8 times(no poop during daytime weird). it made us extremely tired and desperate. We want to treat her by ourselves, happy to find this video. did some research online, said azithromycin could cause some side effects, such as vomitting, diarrhea etc. so a little scared to use it on our puppy.

We’re going through this right now with our 9-10 week old puppy. We got her about 3 weeks ago and she has been pooping diarrhea 10-20 times a day ever since. At first we thought it was just nerves then after a week or so we called the vet and they wanted to test for parvo but that was negative, they did lots of other tests and said she had giardia. We have a 1 year old and they told us to keep her away from our son until she is better because he can catch it so unfortunately we’ve had to keep her in her cage, away from us most of the day for the last week, which i hate doing but I’d rather her be in her cage than my son get sick. We’re having the same issue of her eating her own poop when she’s in the cage and reinfecting herself. We went through one round of the treatment they gave us and it didn’t help her at all. She’s still eating normally but she’s starting to get extremely skinny.

Thanks for sharing this, we have been fostering a dog with a view to adopt & it turns out he has this.. I am SO not looking forward to all the cleaning, but at least he is only pooping outside!

[@taem932]

This is our second round of medication. He sleeps in the crate and he does not go pee and poop at night. During the day when I know he has eaten could poop any minute, he is in his playpen and I am watching him all the time. But if I don't look one minute he could lick his poop. I am giving him pumpkin and sweet potato with his dry food.

I am going through that with my German Shepherd puppy she keeps testing positive every time it is getting extremely expensive although my situation is a bit different she has stopped eating her Pooh and still is testing positive? They have stop treatment for now because they didn’t want to give her any more antibiotics since she is only 13 weeks. We are going back in another month I will suggest this. It is very frustrating and very frustrating I have used bleach to clean up the pool in the yard after picking it up I have tried to clean everything she might lay on. I just want her to be healthy. The doctor thinks that she may be a carrier of this

Fenbendazole helps big time I use safeguard for goats and it kills it pretty fast metronidazole hasn’t ever worked for me have too disinfect a lot and always clean puppy area and bathe him 1 - 2 times a week while getting better

[@rienjen]

My new kitten has (hopefully had) giardia. She gets retested in a few days, but it has been hell, trying to isolate her, disinfecting everything, trying to care for her and not spread anything around. I am lucky, though, as she is not eating her pooh, and is very well house-trained. Her poop is still a little loose, but the stinky farts are almost gone and her behavior is much improved. When I first got her, I thought she was docile--she was just sick. Now she's zipping around her little room and trying to use my leg as a tree (I need to get a cat tree for her, for the sake of my calves alone).

[@relaxandlivelife7093]

Hi my chihuahua had giardia when we took her but she recovered from it in about 1-2 months. Then I put her on PURINA probiotics ever since and also fresh cooked beef and potatoes and carrots and continued her probiotic supplement ever since. Its been 2 months that shes on Purina probiotics and I will continue it for a year or two. She started gaining weight the second month of her probiotic treatment and IS SO LIVELY AND ENERGETIC and I feel has even matured mentally. Please definitely give it a try so beneficial and boosts the immune system.

I have a cute puppy that’s supposed to be adopted by me. She is seven months old. She has Giardia and they are giving her something. I don’t know. I don’t have her in my possession yet. I guess they can’t give out a sick dog but she’s so tiny. She only weighs 7 pounds and I would like to know exactly what you fed her. If you can she is a Bichon Frise. She is a Jul arable. I hope to get her very soon.

[@debbieorangeyouasweet1302]

I’m crying at the vets office this morning because this is my same heartbreaking story. I have 2 puppies miniature Australian puppies from same farm. They both have parasites I have been told it was common and once dosed with meds possibly retest because difficulty in killing. Then the cycle starts again a new parasite, send stool specimens to special lab in Los Angeles which the fee doubled from December to January. I currently have pup on diarrhea medication before another round of Albon 5ml for 7 days. I am frustrated because I’m tired of my sick fur babies, not one vet told me to clean with ammonia, I’m also disabled taking medication that lowers my immune system so I constantly wonder if I carry this, I am so frustrated because the test has a false positive and I may not be using correct antibiotics. The vet hospital is supposed to be the best. The best at taking all my money at the moment. I will be going back for lab results in two days for Albon and will be asking about Azithromycin. TY for sharing.

[@shopgirl_ny152]

Actually, the metronidazole doesn't cause the blood; the Giardia does. The parasites attach to the walls of the intestines, which cans cause a bloody discharge (metronidazole can cause bloody urine, however). My dog had blood before taking metronidazole and did not have it afterward. It sounds like the reason your pup couldn't kick the infection was because he ate his poop. He was putting the parasites back into his body. We just rescued a pup who came with Giardia, unbeknownst to us. By freshly cooked food, what do you mean? Chicken and rice? That is the typical diet when dogs have diarrhea. Your vet should have recommended that when you first took him in. My dog is better after one round of meds (he's a golden/Lab mix and, therefore, not a poop eater. I've read, Frenchies, Boston Terriers, Jack Russells, some other terriers and hounds have this habit. Sorry your little guy had to go through this. I got lucky and stuck to my dog like glue to get him outside asap, and he never pooped in the house, even overnight or when he was going diarrhea three or four times a day.

[@jaymartnez1503]

Thank you for this informitive video. I recently got a Pomsky the day I got him I noticed he had diarrhea. I contacted the breeder and he of course denied knowing the puppies were sick and said they were healthy blah blah blah and then blocked me. I decided to take the pup to the vet two days after I got him, he tested positive for giardia on a snap test. I was given panacur and probiotics to help his digestive system. I switched his food from puppy food to plain white rice and boiled chicken on day two and noticed he didn't poop overnight which he had be going poop 2or 3 times overnight every single night since I got him which gives me hope however when he finally did go poop, it still has the consistency of diarrhea so I've been giving him panacur in the am along with the probable -kp paste and capsule and added Pepto into the mix still feeding him bland food which the vet said would be okay. I gave him a little less than 1 ml of Pepto since they suggested 1ml for every 10lbs noticed he isn't poop 5 or 6 times today. I'm also monitoring him 24/7 to make sure he doesn't eat his poop and also wiping him down with dog wipes and disinfecting the floors a couple times a day especially if he misses the puppy pad. All this is a huge pain in the ass but it's worth it if it gets my puppy healthy again soon. He has a vet appointment next Monday I'm hoping to get good news fingers crossed.
