Hey guys, another update. We officially had 4 weeks of perfect poop! Seriously perfect, did not even smell. We thought we would try transitioning them to a non-prescription food that is a bit cheaper, so we slowly introduced them over the course of a week. Their poops were also fine during this...

I have been using collodial silver in their water only (because giardia lives in water, I try to make sure it cannot live in their water source). I change their water every morning and afternoon, and each change I add two spritz of CS. I've been doing this for the past month or so, so it may...

They are both doing great :) It's been one week with no antibiotics and everything is fine. We still give them probiotics every 12 hours. We slowly switched them to wet food as well and it did not affect their stools. Now the little one is eating more, and gaining steady weight, just as he...

You guys are the best, thanks for all the support! By the way, I know that this thread is titled Giardia, but I want everyone to know, we defeated this nasty parasite and dealing with something else entirely. I tested their poop for giardia every.single.time I give them stool samples, and it has...

Hey guys we got the stool results again: The clostridium perfringen enterotoxin and e. coli and still present. It must have repopulated in our baby's gut, which is what caused the bloody diarrhea to return. It's very likely our other cat has an overpopulation of this as well, because he had...

You mean you got giardia from your cats? Thats awful. How did you know?

Sad news today... After 3 weeks of perfect poop (and while on no treatment) our little one had bloody diarrhea again. His food did not change, but I did notice his appetite sort of diminished the past 2 days...I did not think it would lead to the return of his diarrhea. When I saw the bloody...

So here are the lab results: Turns out the diarrhea was caused by a little bit of e.coli and a high amount of clostridium perfringens (my previous post wasn't very accurate because it was just a phonecall). They did a very detailed test and made sure to give us the right antibiotics, because our...

Thank you! I have heard of cases that people can get infected from their animals, but I also read that each species cannot be affected by the same strain of giardia---but good to know you did not have to suffer either :)

Test results just came through today: They are both clear of giardia and coccidia (this is their second negative and both of their stools were tested each time), which is great news! They also found large traces of e.coli in the little one, which means he needs to be put on a longer course of...

Hello everyone, would like to update you on our progress. Unfortunately we are still dealing with diarrhea, but it does not seem to be caused by the Giardia anymore. Both our cats were clear of giardia twice. Their stools are currently runny and brown. When they had giardia, it was runny...

Would love to know your progress with Binka, because we are dealing with the same thing.

Update: Our older cat no longer has diarrhea after his treatment and his stools look great. Our younger kitty got diarrhea this morning, however. I brought in a fresh stool sample to be tested. He is getting 4 days of antibiotics since antibiotics always appear to stop the diarrhea. He has been...

We have to schedule for our kitten to be de-sexed, and he had a soft bump sticking out of his stomach that would kind of sink back in when you poked it. It didn't bother him and I asked our vet about it. He said it was a hernia, and during his surgery, they would make a small incision, put the...

Thanks for the link! Sounds very similar to what our kitten has. If the breathing issue sounds worse or is accompanied with discharge, I will prod our vet about that more. We've already cycled through at least 6 veterinarians (the vets just don't seem very invested here in Germany), and our...
