Hi everyone: As some of you know, I've just moved from the city into the
woods. Love it here BUT, within a week or so, all 3 of my dogs were sick.
After trying to treat them myself, I took them to their vet - and they were
diagnosed with giardia. Apparently, contracting giardia is common with
animals (and people!) in the woods - and is a special fear of hikers.
They've all been treated and are now well - but, here's my question. How do
I keep them from contracting the same thing all over again?? The fact that
their backyard is forest floor isn't going to change! TIA!
