The one with giardia is a kitten, he was extremely malnourished and underweight when we got him. He was also hand-reared by someone who worked full-time, so he didnt get mother's nutrients and the right amount of food. He's doing ok now, though! Symptoms are not nearly as bad.I can't help but feel there is an underlying problem here. Giardia usually only shows in kittens or the elderly. Unless, your cat has an immune compromised system. If your cat has a strong immune system, neither Giardia nor Coccidia shows sympoms.
I would have him checked for this.
Our older kitten is only 4 years old, but we assume he had symptoms for a few days (diarrhea) because he was really stressed out from the kitten's arrival as well.
