Might I also say that giardia and/or crypto hatch cysts in different times... My friend had a chin that tested negative for giardea, but the doc said to come back a few hours later and he'd run it again. He found cysts the second time.
No alfalfa or alfalfa based pellets, only timothy hay. No pellets or veggies for now. Also, and I dunno if safe for GP's but should be... burn the heck out of some toast and give her 1/4th of a peice. The charcoal helps ease the tummy. But this may just help her feel better. Not fix the problem if there is a ligitamite illness.
One other thing that I just HAVE to mention for my own peice of mind. Baytril is VERY hard on the tummy in almost any situation. For diarreha problems it could very well just add fuel to the fire. It typically can cause diarreha in chins that are ill with things unrelated to their tummies.
If he wants to put her on an antibiotic, he may want to use a sulphur based, or cillian based to prevent secondary complications. Also make sure he gives you a pro-biotic to supplement with. If not plain yogurt with live cultures will work just fine as a pro-biotic.
Last thing... make sure she stays hydrated! Even if you have to handfeed her water to help ensure her hydration.
