Technically, more could have passed and I didn’t see them. I only inspected her stool today and then I inspected an old stool for yesterday so I found two strings total The vet didn’t comment on the duration :( she texted me back an hour ago but I’m still waiting for her to call me.

Update for those who find this post later and are interested. Cleo has ongoing scooting and soft stools from Nov 23 until now (Dec. 15th). ~Nov 27th: Cleo eats about 12 8-inch strings but I don't realize this until Dec 15th when I investigate her stool :((((( Dec 1: I notice Cleo isn’t...

Update for those following. Cleo is still scooting. We started prednisolone about 1 week ago in a small dose for anti-inflammatory effects and are trying venison d/d novel protein food. We tried purina HA but she wouldn't go for it :( i'm also trying to change her to a paper litter but now...

Hello all, I just realized my cat ate 12 8-inch strings about two weeks ago (~ Nov 27). I found one in her stool today. And by investing her box of old stool, I found another. I throw away her box of old stool fairly recently so I dont know how many other strings were passed. The strings are...

Also, I asked my vet (a VCA) about the PCR fecal test and they said it would $412! This seems ridiculously high based on what I understand about the cost of PCR in human these days. Maybe I should make this another thread but how much should a PCR fecal test cost for a cat?

Also, in case anyone is interested or it proves helpful, here is the full medical history of my cleo <3 persistent diarrhea in 7 month old cat after giardia, URI, anal gland issues

Thanks for the reply. Testing again makes sense. It's breaking my heart to think the parasite is back. It has been such a long ordeal getting her back to firm stools. I'm open to working with other vets or schools but I'm not sure who to go to. I'm in the Bay area if anyone can suggest...

I'm not sure! I'm open to going to a new vet though

Mod Note: See persistent diarrhea in 7 month old cat after giardia, URI, anal gland issues for more background My cat seems to also scoot more when her stools are solid… which is somewhat unintuitive to me. My cat “had” giardia (we had a negative test but I’m worried it’s wrong). She’s been...

Im sorry to hear about your kitty. I understand the stress. Metronidazole really messed up Cleo’s tummy. It has taken about 2 weeks off it plus probiotics for her stool to get better. its been a roller coaster. Since starting the sucralfate on Saturday, her stool have finally improved a bit so...

I am giving her science hill I/d wet. Her stool is improving but now she is scooting again so I’m worried the giardia is back :(

UPDATE: I realized that there are small white specks in the Purina FortiFlora! I think the white specks in her stool must be from this!! Thankful its probably nothing bad.

Thank you so much for the reply. don’t think it’s litter because I saw those specks on top of fresh stool and didn’t let her bury it. They are like 1 mm in size. Could it be the start of worms? she has been cleared of giardia for abouts 2 weeks which no improvement to her stool. Luckily she...

I listed my cat's full history on my other post, here. She is 7 months old and her stool has been bad for about 1 month since starting antibiotics and being diagnosed with giardia. I feel like these specks are too small to be worms but then what are they!? Really scared and worried for her...

Thank you for the reply! Sad to hear that FortiFlora isn't great since it was also so expensive but I can easily switched. I ordered some S. boulardii since there seems to be a lot of good success here on the forum about it. My cat has never had blood work. What does blood work usually tell...

I'm in desparate need of some advice because my vets seem to be guessing at this point and my heart is breaking watching my cat have persistent diarrhea for about 1 month now ranging from 5-7 on the fecal chart. Mostly 5-6 but occasionally very watery 7. Besides the diarrhea, she is active and...
