We are back from the vets. So the deal is, the vet is thinking that it is prolly a relapse of Giardia, but is going to have a test done to make sure, and if the results come back tomorrow that it isnt giardia, then he will most likely be treated for whip worm...just like you mentioned, Logan. His stool had nothing of concern in it ( but sometimes parasites are hard to find in the early stages in stool)...so we will see what the Giardia test says.

He put him back on the metronidazole, and also Hills prescription diet w/d dry food...to mix 50/50 with his food, to help the stool to firm up quicker. I was thinking of taking him off of Chicken Soup, as i had mentioned a while ago, b/c his stools never seemed very firm to me, to begin with. Anyway, that is a different story.

The vet also mentioned something about a heart worm med that covers the chance of getting whip worm, where heartguard does not, and it is called interceptor. Ever heard of it? Or used it before?

Anyway, that is it for now, i will let you know what the test results come back as tomorrow...

thanks for all of the kind thoughts and posts
