    Giardia For Six Months Now :(

    I don't know if some of the problem is her inflammation of her intestine. I've been giving her the probiotic and high quality food recommended by her vet, but she has never really had "firm" poop. Like it will have shape and form, but many times it'll leave a residue on her bottom and I have to...

    Giardia For Six Months Now :(

    Ok, I'm going to bring it up with my vet, especially if the sample comes back negative. If it's positive again and he wants to prescribe her the same thing, I may switch to a different practice just to get a fresh set of eyes to look at her and maybe figure out a different approach.

    Giardia For Six Months Now :(

    I know that the testing they do is a send out and I'm almost positive it's PCR, though I don't think it's t. feotus. I've heard from my vet and my friend who is working on her vet internal medicine residency that it is best diagnosed with biopsy rather than PCR because it literally burrows in...

    About at my wit's end. I adopted my sweet Maine coon/bob tail mix, Lenny, from a local rescue group back in August 2017. She was approximately 4 months old at adoption. She is the sweetest girl and my older cat, Boogie, loves her. Approximately a week after adopting her, horrible diarrhea...

She had two rounds of flagyl and three rounds of panacur (last one administered by me), and still her bowel movements are not what I like (normal ones, then a bad one). She also...

    Giardia-when Will It End? *long Post*

    Lenny had a STINKY and looser than I'd prefer bowel movement this afternoon and some gas. Went ahead and left a message with the vet. We are on day 5 or so of panacur so I wonder if she doesn't need another round of flagyl. Like I stated, she is so much better than she was a month ago, but we...

    Giardia-when Will It End? *long Post*

    Thankfully for the last 24 hours, bowel movements have returned to normal. After looking at a bunch of posts advising it for different digestive ailments, I bought some Jarrow Formulas Saccharomyces Boulardii and started adding it to her food. Still doing the Panacur as well (on day 6 of...

    Giardia-when Will It End? *long Post*

    Some background: I am a full-time nursing student. I moved to a different city for school and brought my 1 year old female cat Boogie with me. I didn't want her to feel lonely while I am in class and clinical rotations so I adopted a four-month old Manx bobtail kitten (spayed and up to date...
