I completed her 7 day treatment of metronidazole for her giardia i also bathe her on her last day of treatment....can I take her to the beach or walking in public? Can you recommend any home remedies or tips to avoid reinfection?

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Luna. I recommend having her stool tested again to ensure the infection is resolved before taking her to public places. Be sure to clean your yard thoroughly to avoid reinfection. I hope this information helps!
