“We got Hugo (now named Bowie) he is the sweetest little boy and so smart. However we noticed the next day he had some diarrhea. We thought ok. Maybe it’s the treats/new food. Nope, 3 days after his arrival he was tested positive for Giardia. Which we are still doing our best to help him. Luckily we got pet Insurance before he came. Right now we have paid 1400 in vet bills because Bowie wouldn’t have an appetite to eat or drink. To this he still has soft stools. From our vet they said it’s gonna be a never ending battle for a few months. Pretty sure Bowie got it at there and not in our home since we have another dog that does NOT have it”
We’re sorry to hear Bowie has had a rough start and hope he’s feeling better soon. Intestinal parasites are unfortunately very common in puppies, especially during periods of stress and transition, and digestive issues can sometimes linger for a bit even after treatment begins. Thankfully, most puppies do improve with time, supportive care, and consistency as they settle into their new homes. Please continue working closely with your veterinarian, and feel free to reach out to us or your breeder if you have any further concerns along the way.
