Giardia in 5 month puppy

Hi - Our 5 month border collie was diagnosed with Giardia recently, just finished our second round of pancur and antibiotics and awaiting stool sample results. But have noticed a massive decrease in her appetite. We have religiously bleached down after all stools and wiped her bottom to reduce the risk of reinfection. But just wondered I'd anyone else had experienced their dog had a loss of appetite in their dogs too. We're not sure if it's down to the medication, whether the infection has upset her and needs some time to recover or could be a sign the infection hasn't cleared. Any recommendations on how to help her would be greatfukly received

My doodle has this over Christmas. Reduced appetite, some vomiting and diarrhoea. Took about 6 weeks to get over.

It takes a long while to get over this, presume antibiotics are upsetting her tummy. When my dog isn’t feeling well and not eating much, I get some goats milk to help.
