So Nickel's fecal lab result came back: Positive for Giardia.
His vet puts him on Panacur for 3 days. And then another 3-day treatment two weeks after.
So these are what I have done (or will do). Please let me know if I'm on the right track or not.
1. Notified the breeder; he might want to treat his pack.
2. Vacuumed carpeted rooms and will do so every other day until his next fecal exam comes back as clear.
3. Cleaned other hardwood surface with bleach solution and will continue to do so every 2 days until his next clear fecal exam.
4. Steam-cleaned the couch that Nickel had sat on and will refrain him from getting onto furniture for the time being.
5. Will continue to wash hands after handling him.
6. Will continue to remove his fecal matters right after.
7. Wiped down his crate with bleach solution.
8. Clean his water and food bowl more often.
9. Trimmed the hair near his bottom. Continue to wipe every time after he's done his business and, as instructed by the vet, give him a butt bath every night.
