she has a appoitment next week.  decided to wiegh my self last night, then grab her and weighed myslelf again.  she is 49 pounds, when she is usally around the 55 pounds.  I havent noticed any weird bowel movemnts in the yard, and she still eats like a champ.  With all the duck hunting I have been doing, I wonder if its a parasite :dunno:  Cant wait for the vet appoitment!
   A week!  :yike: I would be shoppin a new vet!

I guess I was fortunate not to have a vet that is tied into a corporation! I can call and talk or text to them and they used to say bring them in and gave me a time!!

yeah no news was good news.  She had a parasite, and was losing weight.  Got her on meds and double rations.  She was acting weird probably due to her hunger, and weight loss.

Glad you got it resolved and she is doing better. Just curious to what kind of parasite she picked up?

prolly wouldn't hurt to have an annual vet check up after each hunting season just to be safe.

I have never heard of behavioral changes associated with giardia. Are they sure she didn't have some hypoglycemia as well.
You may want to have that checked on a 12-24 hr fasting blood sample. The double rations may be compensating for low blood sugar?????
Not to create any more concern, but the behavioral stuff and giardia don't seem to mesh in my mind.
Giardia = diarrhea, weight loss.

yeah, and being that she seems to have a weaker immune system than my male lab, I really need to make sure she gets one.
