We recently sent a Toy Aussie puppy to Phoenix. When she got there she had a slight case of diarrhea. At first I thought it was just the stress of the trip to vet for a well puppy check the day before, flying to Phoenix and new people. However within a day, I noticed a couple of the puppies still here were starting to get loose stools. I called the new Mom in Phoenix and told her to take that puppy straight to her Veterinarian and then called my vet. These puppies had just been there 2 days before for a well puppy check that included a fecal exam and were given a clean bill of health. I was surprised to find that Giardia is hard to detect and that fecal float rarely shows they have it in the early stages.
In case you didn’t know I have a web site that I have all kinds of information on about Toy and Mini Aussies, most of the information pertains to all dog breeds. Because of my recent experience with the puppies I set out to do some research.
