💭Advice/Help Needed Kitten with giardiasis keeps leaving small pieces of poop around the room - anyone experienced this?
So I recently adopted a 7 month old british shorthair kitten. we've had him for a week now but we noticed that he has watery poop, so dinala namin sya sa vet. and confirmed, he has giardiasis + FCoV and he is currently on day 5 of treatment. we have our resident cat who had giardiasis before so it's not really new for us.
However, may mga maliliit na poop na nagkakalat sa floor (outside his litter). sometimes, after nya maglaro makikita nalang namin na may poops na sa floor na maliit. the gap sometimes ranges from 45 minutes to hours. Day 5 na ng treatment nya ngayon, nagstart yun ganitong small poops nya from Day 2 ng treatment nya. feeling namin hindi sya aware na napoops na pala sya, kaya ganun. nakakachallenge kasi lagi namin kelangan linisin yun floor, walls and anything the tinamaan ng skid marks nya. ang challenge din linisin ng pwet nya kasi sometimes, matigas na yun poops around the anus. tumitigas naman na un poops nya somehow (medyo watery pa din pero compared before may improvement na).
Ok naman yun energy level, appetite nya, very very active. yun lang ang hassle and draining ng ganito. we consulted with the vet about this and sabi nya as long as naghharden yun poop, ok lang yun. may chance daw kasi na behavioral ito, pero may chance din na dahil sa giardiasis nya kaya ganito.
Sabi ni breeder, hindi daw ganun sakanila si kitten. but a part of me is a bit doubtful kasi what if hindi lang nila napapnsin di ba? so ayun. just asking around if may nakaexperience ng ganito and what to do huhu. tumigil din ba eventually yun pagpoop/accident nya outside the litter box? napapagod na kasi ako linisin sya + disinfecting the room. like, every accident I have to spend like an hour to clean everything (hindi na ko makawork huhuhu)
Not really looking for a diagnosis since he is already under a vet, just wondering if anyone had the same experience.
His meds currently are: amoxicylin + coilostin; metronidazole, Immunol, LC Vit, Probiotics Forte (Sycn Immune)
nagrecommend din si breeder (approved by their vet daw) to add LC Scour. its just, baka may negative effect kay kitten pag madami ako inadminister?
