Giardia trophozoites stained with Giemsa; 100x magnification. G. duodenalis trophozoites are pear-shaped cells, 10 to 20 μm long, 7 to 10 μm across, and 2 to 4 μm thick. [14] [15] They are motile by way of four pairs of flagella, which propel the trophozoites through the intestine. [15]
The most important aspect of treatment of pyometra is quick action to provide supportive care. Female dogs are often septic and in shock (see septic shock). [1] Intravenous fluids and antibiotics should be given immediately. Once the female dog has been stabilized, then the treatment of choice is an emergency spay.
About 40 species have been described, but most of them are probably synonyms. [11] Currently, five to six morphologically distinct species are recognised. [12] Giardia duodenalis (=G. intestinalis, =G. lamblia) infect humans and other mammals, G. microti infects voles, G. muris is found in other mammals, G. ardeae and G. psittaci in birds, and G. agilis in amphibians.

Since not all dogs do well with the normal pain meds (like aspirin, meloxicam, etc.), you can try CBD oil. You will have to get it from the internet and follow the dosing schedule suggested by the ...
A duodenal biopsy may incidentally detect Giardia organisms, as in this H&E stained sample. [ 33 ] According to the CDC, the detection of antigens on the surface of organisms in stool specimens is the current test of choice for diagnosis of giardiasis and provides increased sensitivity over more common microscopy techniques.
Histiocytoma is a benign skin tumor that is more frequent in young dogs (<4 years), and often regresses without treatment.

Treatment Metronidazole for the invasive trophozoites PLUS a lumenal amoebicide for those still in the intestine. Paromomycin (Humatin) is the luminal drug of choice, since Diloxanide furoate (Furamide) is not commercially available in the United States or Canada (being available only from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).
