Gatito has not recovered from his diarrhea. He is fine during 2 weeks after treatment, then he goes back to soft stool. He makes it to the litter box and frequency is normal, but his stools are still soft.
So far the vet has tried:
-fenbendazole
-metronidazole (flagyl)
now she wants another stool sample, and if giardias are still there she said we'll try albendazole and then if that doesn't work, furazolidone.
We both agree (well, she's the vet
) Gatito has a depressed immune system, and he can't fight giardias proliferation by himself.
He is also taking probiotics, he eats well and has no other symptoms (he's just his usual self, Don Corleone of the house), but he has lost some weight (not significantly, and it could also be due to this nasty hot summer we're having)
Maybe you have other thoughts or opinions about the treatment the vet is trying. I'd appreciate very much any opinion.
Thank you!
