Thanks, Tim. Yes she was fine after a couple weeks of treatment. I just mentioned my dog because they are always drinking potentially contaminated water. I’ve noticed vets mentioning crypto more in recent years, so I assume it’s around, but this is very anecdotal. Our other dog recently had some GI problems, and our vet immediately suggested a crypto screen.
Most people are filtering water these days, so it’s hard to know how much Giardia and Cryptosporidium is actually out there. Public water sources are tested regularly, but I don’t know of any results from widespread testing of lakes and creeks.
