Poor Gigi and Gibson! They contracted Giardia whilst camping a couple weekends ago. Gibson layed some D all over the white carpet (ruined), while Gigi luckily made it to the vet in time to save her (and us) that misery.
And by the way, Gigi is a good camper. However, she got pretty jealous of a couple stray beagles that invaded our campsite on Saturday night (Sadie and Tucker). When Tucker sat in my lap, Gigi went and pouted - until I put Tucker down - then Gigi came right over and climbed in my lap as if she didn't weigh 70 lbs.! Crazy coonhound.

Oh GiGi!!! Sorry you and your brother-from-a-different-mother got sick!! Hope you're feeling better!
A couple of thoughts for you. 1) The best dog accessory that you could ever buy is a mini shop vac...no matter the mess just a pour a couple of glasses of H2O on it (after cleaning up the bulk of it first of course) and such it up with the vac. It'll be good as new...don't even really need to use cleaner (if you get to it soon enough). 2)No matter what any vet ever tells you the giardia vaccine has never been proven to prevent or cure anything. I have been giving it to my dog since she was a pup...when we switched to Alameda East Animal Hospital (best vet in town) they let us know that not even the manufacturer of the vaccine has ever been able to prove its effectiveness.
Also...my hound has always insisted on being a lap dog when we are backbacking/camping...6 1/2 and still at it.
