Thank you for submitting your question regarding Stella. I recommend that she sees her veterinarian again. It is unusual for a puppy to go so long with a decreased appetite especially since she is receiving treatment for her intestinal infection. I worry that she will become dehydrated. There may be an problem in addition to the giardia or she may require some additional care to get her feeling better. Some dogs will not eat due to nausea. There is medication to help if this is the case. Continue to give her the Nutrical in the meantime. I hope this information helps!
