Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| Subject: Giardia Question Sun Mar 10, 2013 10:50 am | |
| So Luna woke up the other day with vomiting and diarrhea. Any because I'm an overprotective puppy parent, we went into the vet this morning. I guess it was a good thing we did because turns out she has Giardia. Now she's on a boatload of medicine (well okay 3) and a bland diet. My question is I want to switch Luna from BBW to TOTW or something similar in quality. Can I switch from the bland diet to the new kibble without negative side effects? Also, Luna is in daycare 2 times a week and I think it might be where she picked the Giardia up, I'm going to alert them tomorrow about it but I'm worried about reinfection. She is supposed to go on Wednesday but I'm skeptical now. Any thoughts? |

| I would think switching her food after the bland diet would be okay but I really am not and expert I am able to switch my dogs food pretty easy. I could contact the day care about the giardia and I would not be taking her for a couple of weeks to get her thru the meds. There was some dogs here that got Giardia at the dog park because some dogs put their feet in the water. The dog park stopped providing buckets you need to bring your own now.. |

| Keep the pup on the bland diet for the duration of the medication treatment for the giardia. Once the meds and giardia have cleared then switch. I've actually had giardia myself twice, once you've have it you always carry it dormant in your body so reinfection is super easy, and let me tell you the absolute pain and discomfort you get in the stomach after eating you don't want much more than bland.
Giardia comes from stagnant water sources, or infected poop- definitely contact the daycare if that is the suspected point of origin. |
