    @dmey: That is great news… I ordered Ayo's a few weeks ago but had a problem with my card!!! I am a bit concerned because his parents are clear and affected!! Clear to Affected "should" give you Carrier. If you get any other results, you need to question the lab (U of MO) and advise them of unexpected results.

    @Marie: One thing I haven't seen mentioned yet and which is recommended when treating giardia is to bathe the dog. This is because the giardia cysts can adhere to the hair around the hind end of the dog who then can re-infect himself by grooming. More of a factor in a long haired dog, obviously, but if it were me I'd be giving Oakley a few baths just to be on the safe side. (I'm sure he'll thank me for this suggestion! :eek:) Oooooo, I didn't know that! That is a great bit of info!

    Occasionally, when my dogs don't want to go out because of the weather but they do have to poo, they will get a little gassy - and yes, it will clear the room - after they finally admit to themselves they have to go out and get it out, the gas goes away - maybe it's as simple as that.

    Well, your precious ones only have to have a rabies booster once every 3 years! Please tell all your friends in Wichita about the ordinance change – the newspaper buried the announcement in other animal-related information, I'm sure many pet owners in the city don't have a clue that they no longer have to booster every year.

    Try giving him a half teaspoon of plain yogurt daily for a few days. Yogurt has enzymes that help adjust the "gut" and usually helps stop gas and/or diareah. Always works for my animals. :)
