    Carpet disinfection and Giardia

    Tulosai and stephenq Thank you both for replying. My healthy kitten Abby doesn't show any symptoms and the vet told me not to give her anything unless they had been sharing litter box for some time which they hadn't. As for the carpet I sprayed it with Lysol thoroughly in the isolation room...

    Metronidazole - dosage and duration

    Well that's weird... I'll definitely call him tomorrow and ask. I read that the half life is short, so it would make sense to give it twice a day... Thank you

    Thymol - is it safe for cats?

    Stephenq You mentioned that you dealt with Giardia a lot. This is very reassuring to me that you are not making a huge deal out of it and you have experience. If you don't mind I'd like to ask you a few questions:) - did you completely rid your household of it? - does it go away with one...

    Metronidazole - dosage and duration

    Cprcheetah Thank you for replying. My vet prescribed 65 mg once a day. The kitty weighs 3.11 lbs. sounds like it's the correct amount but taken once a day. Should I split the dosage in two?... Or it doesn't really matter?...

    More Than One Cat With Diarrhea

    WorriedSoMuch I'm so sorry for your trouble I'm new here myself but I noticed your post because I myself have a kitten with diarrhea. He tested positive for Giardia - a common protozoan parasite. In my case it makes sense because he comes from a multiple cat household and his foster rescues...

    Thymol - is it safe for cats?

    Omg Thank you so much stephenq for your reply. I hope you are right and I'll try to take it easy. So the carpet is not bad then? Sounds great because that's where my worries are. No meds for Abby yet. I promise. I wish more people would tell me that I'm just a psycho with all this worrying:)

    Giardia in kitten

    MServant I'm simply getting a second opinion on the meds because I saw in some posts people were saying something about 10 days vs 5. The vet's instruction was 5 days but at the time we did not know full history that he'd been previously treated with the same meds. It took me a few frustrated...

    Metronidazole - dosage and duration

    Please forgive me if you think I'm spamming with too many threads about the same situation. I'm just really worried and it's my first time dealing with this. I just moved to a new area and don't know anyone. Quick question about the dosage of Flagyl for Giardia infection. Is it given once or...

    Carpet disinfection and Giardia

    Hi I already posted a question about one of my kittens having Giardia infection. I have one concern about disinfecting the carpet. My girl kitten hasn't even interacted with the sick kitten who is kept in isolation but I'm afraid she could have picked it up via carpet contamination. We have...

    Giardia in kitten

    Thank you so much for positive reassurance:bigthumb: Chase did not have diarrhea today! The smelly gas seems to be going away too. I had to lock him up in the bathroom though, so I can spray Lysol on the carpet in the bedroom we keep him in. Poor little guy - OMG when he recovers I will make...

    Thymol - is it safe for cats?

    Thank you Denice That's what I was thinking too about the oils. I couldn't find any reliable info on thymol but it does have something to do with thyme oil. I think I'd use bleach and Lysol but hide the cats from exposure. I hate medicine too, so I hate to give it to Abby for nothing but it's...

    Thymol - is it safe for cats?

    Stephenq Thank you for replying There is another kitten in the house who hasn't been exposed to Giardia (hopefully). That's why I'm going crazy. Also the sick kitten could be re-infecting himself as I understand. We have old carpet all over the house, so I'm freaking out about how can I...

    Giardia in kitten

    Thank you MServant and Betina07 From what I've read so far only Mercola's website states with certainty that Giardia can be passed on to humans. Even CDC says that the chances of transferring it to humans is small because the strains are different. What I'm going to do is this: 1. Clean the...
