It would be worth rechecking a stool sample to be sure the giardia is cleared and also to check for signs of poor digestion. German shepherds are prone to very sensitive digestion and in some cases are unable to digest regular food due to an enzyme deficiency from the pancreas. In these cases, diet change to a hydrolyzed food and enzyme supplementation can be very helpful to restore body weight
