Today, after massive bouts of diarrhea, vomiting, and doctor visits lasting weeks, I finally got a diagnosis… from my puppy's vet. I got Giardia from my dog. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my dog had REALLY bad diarrhea. I found that out when I woke up to find it all over my bed. FML
Today, I have a case of diarrhea. How did I find out? I got startled by my dog jumping up to greet me, and I shat all over the kitchen floor. FML
Today, I couldn’t tell that my puppy had an upset stomach before I left for work. I came home to her covered in shit inside her crate. After cleaning her up and almost being done with the mess, my husband found where she had tried to lick herself clean and then vomited it up in our bedroom. FML
Today, I brought my new puppy home. I saw her sniffing around, so I took her outside to do her business. She simply played in the grass for ten minutes, so I brought her in. She walked in the door, squatted, and shit. She has diarrhea. This is the fourth time today. FML
Today, I finally realized why my 9-week-old puppy was going to the bathroom so much. I went to pick up the food bag and realized she had chewed a hole in the bottom, and eaten half of the bag in the last 4 days. Goodbye 30 pounds of dog food, and 100$ for a vet visit. FML
Today, I gave my puppy a treat for finally doing his business in the grass instead of on the patio. He later puked it up all over the patio. FML
Today, I went home for lunch. Upon opening the door, I smelled something horrid. My dog had opened his cage, eaten all the dog treats, and had diarrhea all over my bed and bedroom floor. FML
Today, my dog woke me up with the sound of vomiting. I immediately got up and tried to figure out what he was doing. After 30 minutes, he didn’t vomit, just kept making the sounds. I banished him from my presence for some more shuteye. FML
Today, I took my dog to the vet because he hadn't eaten his food in three days, was drinking a lot of water, and was peeing a lot (all signs of antifreeze poisoning). I spent $200 at the vet to tell me that my dog is fine and just didn't like his current food. FML
Today, after being worried for a week because my dog wasn't eating, I paid the vet $120 for her to tell me that my dog doesn't like her dog food. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

When an enemy tells you to “eat shit,” you don’t actually have to do it.

So now you get your medication in pill pockets and if you don't feel better after two weeks, you'll get euthanized?

Don’t worry, you’ll eventually give your dog a human disease and then you’ll be even. The most likely candidate: Obesity.

Well, if you've had this for weeks the good news is that you don't have much longer with it. Giardia is typically self resolving in most cases within a span of 2-8 weeks. Antibiotics such as flagyl are sometimes perscribed but not always. An important thing to do is to figure out how your dog transmitted this to you. Typically contact with feces is the common way to contract giardia. I'm sure you can why this can be a problem and should probably be addressed.

Hey OP or educated person explain what that is.

It's other name is beaver fever I believe. I know it's a parasite that affects the intestines causing symptoms like the one OP described, but I don't know much about it other than that.

Perhaps that’s also the cause of Bieber fever, too. An intestinal parasite is a more reasonable explanation than his talent and stage presence.

This is why people should let their dogs or any pet lick their face/mouth. They eat their own feces and lick their buttholes. That gets directly transferred to you. It’s a myth that a dogs mouth is cleaner, because it’s definitely not.

Before eating, you should always cook your pets at 350 degrees for at least 3 hours to kill all bacteria.
