I would slowly wean the kibble in and the meat out over the course of about 2 weeks. Regarding her stool I wait for a full 2 weeks and the recheck her sample. I would not run the Giardia snap test in house because it will show up positive again so soon. I would recommend having your veterinarian look under the microscope for giardia cysts. If they are still there then I recommend another course of treatment. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
