See, my vet says flagyl does nothing for coccidia. Coccidia needs
sulfa based drugs to kill it.
Flagyl kills giardia. Sometimes. It doesn't kill the giardia I've
had in my house forever. Nothing else does, either.

baytril IS still the first drug of choice for utis, and in males,
Giardia is a parasite. You can get it from drinking dirty water, and
that is a common way for humans to get it.
Dogs and cats can also get it from drinking dirty water..but they can
also get it from licking their feet after being in the litterbox..from
licking their butts...from sniffing the poop
