I'm wondering what the source was for the gidardia? One of the negatives of dried food besides leading to urinary tract infections is its a bacteria breeding grown. I've slowly decreased the amount of dried food and increased wet & freeze dried raw. Mainly to try to prevent urinary tract infections and keep my cats hydrated. What I've noticed is their stools are a bit smaller and they don't seem as hungry, although begging for food is in the feline genetic make up so that doesn't ever go away completely. I've been using Nature's Variety Instinct and they gobble it up most of it, then finish off the rest 60-90 minutes later.
I've stayed away from feeding human food scraps after witnessing my parents cat beg for food at each & every meal time. Good luck with Oliie, seems like you're on the right track.
