Hi,

My cats had Girardia when I first picked them up from the breeder. The breeder was shocked to hear it when I told her the results from their Vet visit. I was too. The breeder thought they acquired it from drinking dirty water. Needless to say, it is all better....but I suspect if one cat has it, and shares a litter box then they should all be treated? Sounds like a nightmare to me. By the way, I bought the pills on line, in the products for "fish" section. Saved myself lots of money. I keep the pills on hand now.

Information:

What are Giardia? Giardia are sometimes confused with worms because they invade the gastrointestinal tract and can cause diarrhea. They are not worms; instead, they are one-celled parasites classified as protozoa.

Sorry to hear you have such a yucky thing happening in your household.
