I had a stool sample test done on my foster kitten Biscotti.  She had been
treated for worms when I first got her with Strongid, and then she was
treated for giardia with Albendazole.  She may or may not have actually had
giardia.  What happened was that I took her to the shelter so she could be
adopted.  While there, her littermates (still at my house) came down with
diarrhea, and I had a stool sample for them tested, and it was positive for
giardia.  Biscotti never had a test, since she was loose in the kitten room,
but once her brothers tested positive, she was caged and treated.  In the
meantime, she also came down with runny nose and eyes, and was put on
Clavamox.  She also was adopted, but the people are waiting for her to be
healthy before taking her home.  On Sunday, I was at the shelter and saw how
sad she was in her cage, so I took her home and put her in the downstairs
bathroom.  She seems much perkier, does not appear ill at all.  Today I took
a stool sample to another vet our shelter uses to check her for giardia,
since her adopters would like to pick her up sometime this week if she is
cleared.  This vet doesn't check for giardia in-house, but they ran a
parasite check and found coccidia.  Biscotti hasn't had diarrhea since I
first got  her, when she had worms.  From having many litters of kittens
since I started fostering, I've gotten good at recognizing coccidia poop.
It's always very smelly, diarrhea, and yellow-ish.  Her poop is normal.
Could the Clavamox have anything to do with this?  I'm going to talk to the
kitten coordinator before I treat her.  Just wondering if anyone has had
this situation.
