My cat Ryder has poop problems. At 3 months old, he got Giardia and had Giardia for about 3 months before it finally got resolved. His poop has never been the same (he's now 14 months old). He consistently has half solid/half runny or mushy poop. Went to the vet, ran some tests for B12 levels (I...

Your response was helpful! Ryder pooped after about 3.5 days but has gone 2 days in a row since then. He's currently on the metro and I've been transitioning him to the Hills this past week. His poop is still very soft and extra smelly. Not sure if that's because of the food transition. I guess...

Checking in back here. It's been about a month since Ryder has been Giardia free but his stool is still soft and end parts of stool is loose and stinky. I thought it was his wet food, so I experimented with different proteins, different gums (he won't eat the few wet foods without gums), but...

How long should should I expect the soft stool and diarrhea to continue while he's recovering? Ryder had diarhhea again this morning after a 4 day stretch of solid stool. Trying to get a gauge of how long this should continue before reaching out to my vet again. 10 days per the previous post...

I literally this second just got the test results back for my cats and it came back negative for Giardia!!!! I almost can't believe it! I could've sworn it was going to come back positive for Ryder. He's having mostly solid stool again (although very wet), so improving slowly. He's having 3/4...

My vet has a tendency to write things off. If my cats are eating and using their litter box they seem to think everything is fine. They said that anal sacs leak sometimes (which I"m fully aware of). I clarified that it wasn't liquid and that it was more of a thick cream texture and they said to...

Is any coconut oil ok? Not sure if there's anything I should look out for. Ryder had a yellowish pus like substance oozing from his anal sacs today to add to the list of things to worry about. I emailed his vet today, so hoping I'll get advice on next steps tomorrow.

I have Healthy Paws for my two cats. I got insurance for both my kittens at 5 months and 3 months old so my premium is only $35 for both a month. Since your cat is older I would expect your premium to be higher than mine. I get 90% reimbursement of treatments, procedures, and medication and have...

Ryder's poop could clear a room. It smells terrible, is wet, and a light brown. For the past 3-4 days his poop has been formed but soft which is an improvement over the piles he used to have. Due to the inflammation and diarrhea, he also has been having symptoms of an anal prolapse. Haven't seen...

I'm having that problem with Ryder. It gets better for a 3-4 days then back to mushy piles or half solid half diarrhea. My other cat has had solid, low residue for the past few days which has made me feel a bit better. I'm waiting a few more days to hit the 2 week mark after the last medication...

Is this something I request from my vet or do I have to find an independent lab to do so?

I've been getting their fecal samples tested 2 weeks after their last dose of medication. How long did your cat continue to have soft stools/diarrhea after he tested negative? I'm not a fan of Royal Canin either, but I'll try it if it makes them better.

THey've both tested positive for Giardia multiple times so I'm sure that's their problem. They've been eating the food with no problem for a while, so I ruled out the food pretty quickly.

I've been cleaning and changing out their bedding, but I realized that I haven't been changing MY bedding everyday. They're all over my bed at night. I'll need to start changing out the blankets and sheets everyday. I just got my steam cleaner last night but steam cleaned last night and again...

Ryder is my new kitten who I've had for about 4 months now and is now 7 months old, so the Giardia started after a month of me getting him. Emmie is the older one who is now 1 years old and I've had since March 2019. I'm pretty sure Ryder started it by digging in the sink drain and digging up...

I'm not sure if I'm here for advice or moral support, but my two cats have tested positive for Giardia for the past 3 months. One of my cats has been through 1 round of Panacur and 1 round of Panacur/Metronidazole. My other cat has been through 2 rounds of Panacur and one round of...

My 5 month old kitten was put on Panacur for 5 days for Giardia. I gave him his last dose today, but he's still having loose stool. Does the Panacur continue to work after giving the last dose or should I have seen some improvement by now?

I was alarmed at this too when my cat did it, so I sent a video to my vet. She basically shrugged it off and said it's normal cat behavior given that there weren't any other issues. I would check with your vet just to make sure.

I often read old threads and wonder how things are now or if they've resolved their issue, so giving everyone an update. The new cat introduction is officially over and my 2 cats can now be left alone unsupervised. I've left them alone for about 4-5 hours at a time and will be leaving them alone...
