Hi everyone,
My kitten is 12 weeks old. He finished all of his medication for Giardia a couple of days ago, so his poop is no longer soft/runny. However, even though his poop is hard enough, his bum is always dirty after he poops (stuck on his anus). Today, his poop was softer than usual (and more green) and a big clump got stuck on his fur. He cleans his paws and legs all the time but doesn't clean his butt too often.
I usually wipe him with a soft warm towelette... But would I have to do this forever? Do kittens eventually get better at cleaning their own bottoms? Did the Giardia come back?
Thanks!
