A Bumpy Start with Perseverance
With Cooper, we went through a somewhat "challenging" puppy phase. He suffered from the parasite Giardia for months, which significantly affected his health. We're not sure where and how he contracted it, but Cooper loves to discover the outside world by sniffing everything and tasting everything. This required him to take medication for months, which naturally affected his intestines.
Later, we also discovered that Cooper has sensitive intestines, which means we have to be careful about his diet and especially avoid him sampling too many things during walks.
