you tell me what an inpouch tritrichomonsis test is? Google is not returning any results. A fecal and exam follow up seems appropriate to me once we see if making their food consistent helps. How long should we wait? Lynette =^..^= The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be measured

Keep in mind that a lot of times giardia does not show up on fecal. How long have they been on metronidazole? Have they been dewormed, preferably with D rontal? They were on met for 10 days (off now). They've been dewormed twice with Drontal. Lynette
