Plain-English summary
A group of dogs in a kennel were diagnosed with giardiasis, a type of intestinal infection caused by a parasite. To control the outbreak, all the dogs were treated with a medication called fenbendazole for 10 days. In addition to the medication, the dogs were bathed and the kennel environment was thoroughly cleaned to prevent re-infection. This combined approach helped to effectively manage the infection and keep the dogs healthy.
