Giardia: Giardia is a one-cell parasite that affects your dog or puppy after swallowing water contaminated with feces. This parasite rarely affects older dogs but can cause persistent diarrhea in puppies that lasts long enough to cause poor conditions, weight loss, and even death.
Humans get giardia, but not from their pets. This organism causes diarrhea and discomfort in people when they drink contaminated water.
