When is the best time to perform the Giardia Test for cats and Dogs:

Giardia is a protozoan that infects dogs and cats when drinking contaminated water. This disease is highly contagious in pets and easily transferable to humans and other animals. Remember, the most dangerous thing about Giardia infection is that it is asymptomatic until its symptoms appear. When the gastrointestinal symptoms of Giardia infection begin to appear, they are so severe that they cause lethargy and weight loss very quickly in dogs and cats.

So don’t wait for the symptoms to appear, according to the veterinary doctor’s recommendation. If you think your dog has a gut upset, have a Giardia Antigen examination test in puppies  every three months. Adult dogs and cats must have a stool test after six months to check for a Giardia Burden.

Benefits of On-Time Giardia Antigen Detection Test:

  • Improve gut health:

    Although there are no early signs of Giardia infection, symptoms appear when the infection adversely affects the dog's intestinal health. Therefore, through a timely antigen test, we can improve our dog's gut health and protect his intestines from any infection.

  • Reduce the risk of spread:

    Giardia protozoan infection is highly transmissible and has a high risk of spreading. We can save our other pets from this disease if a timely diagnosis is made.

  • Targeted treatment:

    Diarrhea, Vomiting, Lethargy, and Weight loss can be symptoms of other diseases, so if a timely diagnosis is made, Giardia treatment can be started instead of antibiotic medications.

  • Reduce chances of complications:

    Symptoms of protozoan infections can be fatal for dogs if they become contagious. So, by getting a timely diagnosis, we can save our dog from any gastrointestinal complications.

FAQs

The time of gut infection varies; some canines recover early while others need treatment.

If your dog has a gastrointestinal protozoan infection, take special care of its hygiene. Try to feed your dog a mixture of boiled rice and chicken to make it easier for digestion, and get checked by a veterinarian for further recommendations.
