Sorry about Pickles. Good news that her blood work was OK. Sometimes GI issues take a few days to work through the system. Giardia is pretty easily picked up, usually by ingesting the parasite from contaminated water or from contaminated stools. If Pickles is anything like our dogs, they sniff/lick many things during their walks. Sasha in particular puts just about anything she finds that might be interesting in her mouth (haven't quite broken her of that yet).
BTW, if one of the medications is metronidazole (flagyl) it tastes REALLY bad. That can affect taste and appetite for a short period after medicating if the pill dissolves in the mouth. That's one we try to wrap in small amount of food or poke it down to minimize the possibility of getting a bad taste in the mouth.
