I'd love to have Jack get in on this one.
I've got a dandy litter of 6 pups. One just left to her new home Saturday. I've got one little female that my vet (damn good vet btw) said has a giardia looking protozoa in her. Not a problem. Hitting her with the Albon and I expect her to be just fine. I did contact the new owner of the pup that left Sat. to let him know to keep an eye on her, but here's my question.
1. I suspect the other 4 pups I have are plenty susceptible to this since they've been kenneled together - Is this assumption correct?
2. More importantly, can I just do a preventative Albon treatment on the other four to ensure they'll be ok, or should I watch to see if I see anything concerning?
Vet said this is most common for those who wash out and hose out kennels several times a day. That is not the case here. They were in an above ground pen until 5 weeks and have been in a larger, chainlink kennel on concrete since.
Is there anything I could have done preventatively to cut the odds of this down?
I am in the middle of relocating and have plans to build an 8x8 above ground that I can keep them in for a longer period of time, but that's down the road.
Thanks!
