If you are someone who suffers from recurrent boils in this area then do please go and see you GP because it may be that you need a cause of antibiotics and an antibacterial wash. If this is a recurrent problem then we often prescribe a longer course of antibiotics to try and break the cycle.
This is because a giardia infection interferes with digestion and inhibits absorption of nutrients from the diet. It can also damage the lining of the intestine. In fact, this particular parasite is at the root of many cases of chronic GI inflammation in dogs and cats.
Signs and symptoms of giardiasis can vary, and some people may be infected without showing any symptoms. Symptoms, when they occur, can last two weeks or longer. The most common symptoms are. diarrhea, gas, fatty or foul-smelling stools (they may float), and; stomach or abdominal cramping.
