Thanks for everyone's suggestions. My vet said to try the metronidazole and fenbendazole again. So I stepped in and mentioned what  J-cat said about the Convenia and she was willing to try it, so my cat has come home with a 2-week shot of Convenia and a plastic collar to stick her licking her...

Gosh, I really feel for you Isobel. I've only got the one to care for, so I can't imagine having 3 runny cats! I've heard about the quaterary ammonium cleaners, but I've found it really hard to find any here - even on the UK Amazon or ebay. I can't get out and about too much with my illness so...

Thanks Isobel - I was wondering if the vet might take her in for treatment though I don't imagine I'd be able to afford any boarding costs, easily since I'm off sick myself with something else (unrelated to Giardia!). My other half also wondered about a collar. Although I wipe her bottom, tail...

Anymore suggestions? Many thanks to all who have replied so far. I am off to the vets with her tonight as she has really watery diarrhoea now and is straining so much that it's causing her bottom to bleed :( I started her on Prozyme Digestive Enzymes yesterday in addition to the probiotics...

Thank you Posie. They did two different tests on her stool, so I think the vet covered everything. Or does it take a blood sample to detect that? My cat did have a couple of doses of Ronidazole when I gave her the pigeon wormer @ 30mg/kg but I  don't know if that's enough for treatment of ...

Thank you so much J-Cat. I'm glad to be able to have something else to suggest to my vet. Giardia going on for a year?? How did you manage to keep the cats from starving to death? My poor cat has lost so much weight that I'm frightened for her. Thank you as well for your kind wishes. I love my...

Hi, I'm looking for help for my 15-yr old female Tortoiseshell. She tested positive for Giardia in August and it is now nearly the end of November. Nothing we have tried has worked and she has lost an awful amount of weight. First we tried 3 rounds of Metronidazole - increasing in length each...
