There aren’t any vitamin supplements that I’m aware of that would improve appetite after giardia. You could try offering canned dog food or plain boiled chicken breast with white rice as long as Luna doesn’t have any food sensitivities. If Luna has vomited or is her appetite doesn’t return in the next 24 hours it would be a good idea to recheck with your vet to make sure there is nothing else going on.
