To have giardia do they have to have diarrhea too? Cammy has really stinky farts sometimes but no diarrhea. I just thought it was her food, but I was reading another thread about stinky cat farts and someone thought giarda. She has had a course of antibiotics, and still has them. (Didn't know if antibiotics were the treatment for giardia)

Java had what the vet called an intestinal bacterial overgrowth - took 2 rounds of antibiotics + a round of probiotics [bene-bac] to completely eliminate. like Cammy, she had been an outdoor/stray cat before i adopted her [found her in the parking lot @ school].
