Hello Dr Hofve,
I read your article regarding Giardia and digestive enzymes. I live in the country and have been battling Giardia in both of my lab puppies for about 3 months. We have been through the standard treatments; metronidazole and fenbendazole both three times. I also had them vaccinated with the Giardia vaccine. I ordered and received Prozyme. Your instructions state to give one capsule three times a day. The Prozyme (original formula) I received came in powder form, how much powder equates to one capsule?
Thank you,
Judy
Hi Jean,
It is wonderful to meet you here.
I am writing an aricle about what to do if your dog is attacked by a larger dog. Could I get you to anwer a few questions from a vet's point of view? I'm also writing an article on what to do if your animal has been bit by a rattlesnake. Do you have any material on that?
Thank you,
Becky
