Sounds like you have a protazoan! She needs to be put on Flagyl(Metronidazole) I usually go with 50mg per kg of body weight. If you will probably have to take her to the vet though as Flagyl is a FDA controled and can only be prescribed by a doctor. It's not a expensive drug though. Your vet will probably want to do a fecal as well. Hope this helps and good luck with your girl.
