My little girl has had poop of all consistencies, from liquid, to pudding, and soft solid with bloody mucus always in the 4 months I've had her.
She was diagnosed with IBD and every remedy hasn't worked for her.
A new alternative medicine vet suggested giardia and upon research I've done myself, it sounds likely!
However, she looked at a stool sample under the microscope and found nothing but is deciding to treat her anyways.
She just gave her Tylosin and she is to take it 2x a day for a week.
I looked up this medication and I see no mention it of it being used to treat giardia.
Is anyone familiar with it?
I understand that that there are special tests to diagnose giardia and other more popular medications that are mentioned often.
Should I go ahead and get a second opinion or try out the Tylosin and see if it does the trick even though the vet has no confirmation of giardia.....
I've already spent so much money!!!
