"Ann in Houston" wrote in message m... I was at the vet's the other day and they were treating a Labrador for this parasite. It supposedly comes from the dog drinking from a natural waterway where "infected" flukes were present. My fish have never had flukes, but I wonder if it would hurt our neighbor's dog if he drank water from my pond and they actually had a case of them before I knew of it. Flukes are bad enough, but "infected" ones? I wouldn't worry about it, but it just made me wonder because he is such a nice dog. Giardia is a problem in any waterway where animals have defecated in or near the water. It's a common problem for backcountry hikers. It's the main reason many hikers, filter their water. Many hikers joke about going on the Giardia Diet, in which no matter how much you eat, you lose weight because you are unable to digest anything. LOL. http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dpd/parasi...ht_giardia.htm BV. |

It would explain how I've not quite managed to get fat on my wife's cooking. -- derek |
