Yea. We still have her on S. Boulardii, but we had to take a break with the Enzyme treatment. We actually have been giving her S. Boulardii for the past few days since we've ended the first phase of the Enzyme Treatment. I hear that Tylosin doesn't kill gut bacteria, so that's a good thing...

She was on S. Boulardii for a good 2-3 weeks initially. It seemed to have a positive effect for awhile (never perfect) but didn't keep the diarrhea completely at bay, but still helped. So basically, with S. Boulardii, we were back to step 1 in 1-2 weeks. The Enzyme treatment actually did nearly...

Well, the past 3 days were not so great. We're back to poop hikes and poop cleaning. We haven't seen anything as bad as it used to be, but she's still not quite right. The soft stool started again towards the end of the Enzyme treatment (the last 1.5 days). The first 6 days or so were...

We have a 15 month old Persian cat. She's pretty small @ 6.8lbs. We'd love to see her get to 7.5lbs. She is PKD positive, but with zero symptoms. The vet didn't think she was underweight, just a small persian. Her rib cage doesn't show or anything like that. She's just thin and narrow, as...

Bleach is great for certain objects and floors, for sure. You can also use this on things that you may be afraid to use bleach on, which is very cheap as well. I paid $10 for a big jug at Home Depot, and this kills Giardia as well...

Thanks everyone. Lynda, yep, we plan to continue the Panacur on both cats, even though zero effects were realized from the treatment. We're already quite aware of the cleaning protocols as well. :) Also, aside from bleach, a Quaternary Ammonium product can be used as well.  Another day goes by...

So far, so good. No accidents yesterday nor last night, nor this morning. She seems to be getting right back to her normal self.  I called my Vet and had her delay/cancel the anti-biotics. She wasn't in the office, but she will be calling me Wednesday to discuss. She may not be aware of the...

On the 3rd day of the enzyme treatment, and I'm seeing significant success thus far. Since I've started the protocol: 1) She has significantly less bowel movements. This may be due to the enzyme treatment, or it could be due to stopping free range feeding which we have been doing. 2) Stool is...

The vet called and said that the next step is another antibiotic. It's one they have to be compounded, so it's going to come from the east coast.  I didn't catch the name of it, but it's something she's going to put Mao on starting later next week. All I remember is that it's something that...

I've read that the ELISA test is good for diagnonis of Giardia, and shouldn't be used to see if Giardia is still there to do some lingering things that will set off the test. Anyhow, There appears to be 4 primary drugs that will treat Giardia. * Furox (haven't tried) * Flagyl (no significant...

After 7 days of Panacure, we saw no change with her diarrhea in anyway. I'm going to rule out Fenbendazole from being effective. Awhile back, before the Giardia diagnosis, Mao was on Flagyl (Metronidazole) for about 5-7 days, without any significant effect from that, either.  I'm going to let...

Thanks for that. I didn't read anything "devastating" about Giardia. I would was really devastated about hearing about FIP. FIP = RIP. I was also near devastated about hearing about T. Foetus, even the vet had inclinations of that. I guess with Panacure they both will go 5 days of treatment...

Got back from the vet for an FIP exam. Great news...vet cannot find a trace of it, wet or dry. 1) Tempurature taken from anus was low. 2) No growth felt by stomach or chest area 3) Breathing was completely normal 4) Weight and health looked great 5) Heartbeat was spot-on. Just a healthy...

Yay, there is light at the end of the tunnel! Mao still has persistant diaherea. PCR Panel came back today. She tested positive for two things: 1) Coronavirus. From what I've been reading online, this isn't surprising and it seems like most cats test positive for this. She is going in later...

I posted this video of a mutual grooming session. This was about 3 weeks ago. I think you guys may find this funny (and gross). Both of these cats clearly get along. The white cat (Cabou) is a bear cat with the greatest temperament a cat could have. Never gets upset, and loves car rides and...

She's been much more consistent for the past 7 days. Poop has been mostly great. She doesn't go to the bathroom as much anymore and eats a ton. I only had to clean the side of the litter box twice in the past 6 days. I had to clean one paw off, but that was 6 days ago. I also did find a yogurt...
