Dear all,
Today we got the results for the parasite tests of Tristan. It is a good day cause we found the answer we have been looking for. He is diagnosed with Giardia. The bad thing is that it is a difficult parasite to get rid off a dog's system and is contageous to humen. However i was told that the rate of success for the dog to clean up completely is some 90% wiht some new drugs. After the 3 day treatmetn everything arounf him must be crystal clean as if he lives inside an operating room. There is a chance that the eggs won't leave his system immediately and that he may presetn again the same symptoms in the future but the vets are otpimistic that even if this happens we will be able with a second cycle to clen him completely. I will keep you posted for the results. His therapy ends on Sunday night.
Best
Nicholas
