My Little Giardia Girl

Please forgive the posting delay. This week has been busy.

Zuul, Megan and I stopped by Sellwood Park on our way home from work last Friday for the first time. There is a decent sized no-fence, off-leash dog area. Even better, it is within spitting distance of the Willamette River. We sauntered over and found a nice, long stretch of beach. Zuul had a great time being torn between wanting to get in the water and remembering that she does not like being in the water.





Zuul had a check-up at the Vet yesterday. Her poo has been a little weird at the park since the beginning of April, so I thought it best to get her poked and prodded. It turns out she has Giardia. Apparently this is very common and not a big deal if treated. The Vet is hoping that Zuul will finally start looking like we are feeding her. I'm hoping she won't crap her brains out four times at the park most evenings. Zuul is now enjoying Panacur® (Fenbendazole) with her lunch for the next few days.
