Yes you can give her a bath without any problem. Regarding Giardia usually the treatment lasts for 5 days (even though it would depend on the treatment itself). Considering that the signs are resolving and she is still eating, I would recommend to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice vomiting, lethargy or complete inappetence.
