Hello everyone, I called Burns office ( the vet) to check on my 5 month old ebd that I took to the vet yesterday moring that had-had diareha for a day and wasn't eating and this morning and after speaking with a tech there she went on to tell me he still won't eat anything well I went on to tell her I have been reading about Giarda on-line and in an english bulldog owner forum I use to learn about health issues ect. I said I heard that Giardia is hard to diagnose because many adult dogs have it but are a symptomatic and show no signs and a dog can test positive for it but it may be a blockage. even parvo causing the diarrhea and the positive giarida may be circumstantial. Also it can be difficult to treat as well because it can be reoccurring ect. I also asked why they weren't using the panacur in addition to the Flagyl ( Treatment of choice) and she said that was Burn's call ( the vet) and she did not know. Well now she said they want to do an ultra sound to make sure there is no obstruction and a parvo test. just to make sure. Burns sure likes to remind she is the vet ! My bill is well over a thousand now . Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut? Guess this is best for Buddy's sake. My brother who lives in mass told me if his dog was sick he wouldn't take him any where but Tufts animal clinic there and I know they have one in Gainsville Fl and now I am exploring them. My brother THINKS they have one in Miami. I am checking around to see. Well good thing I have insurance right ? I called them and they said they couldn't guarantee payment over the phone but I explained everything and she said he should be fine as long as it was not pre existing. Thought I would fill you guys in and Thanks Hero
