The wonderful Theresa from Minneapolis, MN has been helping pet owners and their beloved pets around the world on Earth Clinic since 2013.
About Theresa
Theresa from Minneapolis was born and raised in the inner city, always wishing she had been raised on a farm.
Her love for creatures great and small began at an early age, starting with caterpillars - which continues to this day, along with an interest in all insects and 'creepy crawlies'.
Theresa's interest in pet health started with a bird keeping hobby at age 14, where she learned from another hobbyist that the simple addition of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) in a bird's drinking water kept fungal infections away; she was able to share this with her avian vet who in turn prescribed it to her own clients; Theresa was surprised to learn that she could teach her vet a thing or two. This important lesson - that each of us can be a teacher - was a turning point for Theresa, and fueled her quest for the knowledge held in lore, and remedies passed by word of mouth. That quest for knowledge continues to this day, as new and old remedies alike are explored. She may not have experience with a particular issue, but she will research it to the best of her ability and share what she finds freely, in the hopes that you can heal or improve your pet's health.

"Hey Debbie!
Consider a nutritional approach with foods that are natural remedies for protozoans.
This is my usual "go to":
2 raw baby carrots [avoid Bunny Luv Brand] grated and shredded
1 table spoon sunflower seeds [raw or cooked]
1 teaspoon C&H Brown sugar
I mix these up in a tablespoon or two of canned tuna [tuna is actually a remedy and not just something tasty for the dog! ] and dose in the tuna for 2 days, and then without the tuna for another 6 days - dose am and pm.
Other nutritionals to consider:
Blueberries - 1 tablespoon twice a day for 5 days
Broccoli - 4 flowerets twice daily for 5 days
Carrots - 2 baby raw organic carrots twice a day for 8 days
Celery - 1 raw stick twice a day for 7 days
Green Pepper - 1 half-dollar sized piece twice a day for 2 days
Lemon Juice - 1/2 teaspoon twice a day for 5 days
Pumpkin Seeds - 1 tablespoon twice a day for 8 days
Spinach - 1 tablespoon twice a day for 5 days
Sunflower Seeds - 1 tablespoon twice a day for 8 days
C&H Brown sugar - 1 teaspoon twice a day for 8 days
I mix these up with a little water and dose with a medicine dropper or put into wet food:

Bilberry - 1 capsule twice a day for 5 days
Cat's Claw - 1 capsule twice a day for 5 days

"Cold-Pressed Organic Coconut Oil;
Pure MSM;
Nutribiotic's liquid GrapeFruit Seed Extract (liquid, 33% GFSE + 67% glycerin {essential buffer)
Oregano Oil
About 20 yrs ago I found these remedies on a dog-breeder's website after one of my dogs proved positive for it after having lost 10 lbs (went form 70 to 60 lbs).
She would NOT swallow ANYTHING containing the pills prescribed by conv. vet., so I looked online. Read an article saying that drug is not very affective for Giardia, & that it's Very Bitter! Then found the article sharing natural treatments....
I used the top 3 I listed, as I already had them. The 4th is one my sister later told me she uses for her dogs after they go hiking & swim in a place where they always pick Giardia up. I recall each of them was recommended as effective alone ... but I had 3 n hand, & they're all safe to use, so gave all of them to both my dogs (both showed symptoms I now recognized) mixed in their food w/ water....
PLUS, I gave the one diagnosed an extra feeding daily for a week (along with the nat. meds.), & she gained all her lost weight back that week, & did NOT loose weight after I stopped treating the Giardia!"
