Bulldogs ARE different from other breeds so the experience on here is extremely valuable!
I would try the canned pumpkin, as a friend had a new puppy with similar issues and the pumpkin did the trick in just a few days!

he had Giardia until we took him to the vet (we had him for two days). I slowly transitioned his food because I couldn't find the food the breeder fed him anywhere (the vet didn't know what it was either) I heard blue buffalo food was good quality so we tried it. I've never owned a dog before so this is all new to me and I just want the best for him.
Thank you for your suggestions. I'm going to see how he is today and bring another stool sample to the vet.

I also had a pup with giardia. It sometimes comes from drinking from ponds, pools of water and is passed to the puppies from the mom. You probably should check the stools again to make sure it is gone. It took a few months before it was gone in my girl. Good luck. Oh I also changed food after I found out the giardia was gone and she still had very loose stools and it almost cleared up completely after the food change. I use Nutro chicken.

the giardia was resolved. Try going back to his original food as the new may be upsetting his system.

5 days of meds is not long enough to see good results. You need to be diligent about giving medication and give it more time.

that he has giardia, makes it impossible to know what is causing the diarrhea. As mentioned, it may be the food that isn't agreeing with him, finding the right food is trial and error, every dog is different.

Good luck.

I don't have any experience with Giardia but I do know that giving a puppy a Tablespoon of canned pumpkin (plain with NO sugar) with his food will often help with the diarrhea.
I also know that our puppy Harley got extremely bad diarrhea when we first switched his food. Had to try a few different ones before we got one that worked for him.
Good Luck, and enjoy Rocco!

wasn't enough fiber in her food; switched to Solid Gold and pumpkin, no more problems...
