I haven't logged on here for awhile but am very glad to hear that Timber is doing better. I did answer your pm about zinc deficiency but after reading your last post I would really check into a diagnosis for giardiasis.

Giardia is very difficult to detect and you have to have several stool samples checked as it is not always shed in every one. I think there is a specific test they have to do and I'm pretty sure if left untreated it can cause mild anemia as well.
