When can my puppy go to daycare/dog park after kennel cough & giardia?

Question

My puppy was diagnosed with kennel cough and giardia yesterday. She is now on medication. How long before it's okay to take her back to daycare and to the dog park? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Female | spayed | 7 months and 9 days old | 65 lbs

This is a really good question, with no perfect answer. With the giardia she is technically still considered to be potentially shedding eggs until she has a negative fecal exam. With the kennel cough, depending on which virus is causing it she can still be shedding virus up to 3 weeks even though she may be symptom free. I hope this helps answer your question.
