Oh I might try the non-clumping litter. I've tried litter liners before but the cats always rip them to shreds. I am starting to think this recent bout of diarrhea is from switching their dry food too suddenly. Diarrhea is much runnier than it was from the giardia before I changed food and...

Hi all, so I've got 7 cats in my house and one has symptomatic giardia infection. He's been having diarrhea off and on for several months now. Tests confirmed it's giardia. Vet prescribed fenbendazole for all cats in the house. Seems that didn't work, but I did also switch their dry food so the...

Thank you for providing that. I will definitely keep an eye on those things. She seems to still be eating/drinking fine and using the litter box. I have 5 boxes (3 downstairs, and 2 upstairs), so I think that helps. I also think I will create a safe haven for her like the guide you provided...

Thank you for the responses! Yes, Jonesy is neutered. After I found him I immediately took him to the vet and they confirmed he was neutered. He also doesn’t spray (thank goodness). The impression I get is that he’s mainly wanting to play because he chases after the kittens too, and they chase...

Yes, I’m super worried about this. My kittens also had it, but they’ve taken their meds without any issue and their poo is perfectly normal now. Really don’t want my stubborn older kittie to re-infect them because she won’t take her meds. This Giardia situation has been quite the ordeal. Poor...

Thank you for all of the suggestions! It looks like Wedgewood has a lot of different dosage forms, so I might have to suggest them to my vet if Susie stops eating the pill halves wrapped in tuna. Fingers crossed!

Thank you for the suggestions! My vet responded to me and said that this medication doesn’t have an injectable form. I looked online and it does look like it can be compounded into a transdermal form, but my local compounding pharmacy said that metronidazole doesn’t hold up very well in this...

Hi there, My vet recently prescribed my baby girl Susie metronidazole for a Giardia and Clostridium infection. She is an incredibly picky cat and refuses to take her pills in any food. I’ve tried a variety of wet cat foods, cheese, pill pockets, tuna, meat flavored baby food with no luck. The...
