Giardia is a protozoal infection. A parasitic, single-celled organism, giardia multiplies in the small intestines of animals. Giardia in veterinary terms is called Giardia Intestinalis or Giardia Duodenalis. This protozoan parasite is common in dogs and is most prevalent in younger canines. Because this infection is known to induce inflammatory bowel disease and can lead to digestion motility disorders, all pets who contract Giardia should be treated by a veterinarian.
People and pets rarely share each otherâs Giardia. People are typically infected with a human form of Giardia, dogs with a canine form, cats with a feline form, and cattle. and sheep with a ruminant form. People are occasionally infected with a different form that is shared with animals. On. rare occasions dogs and cats have been found infected with the human form.
