Greetings,

I adopted a Cat from a shelter last week, and am absolutely in love with
him. He was immediately neutered, and when feeling better (2 days later), I
took him to the vet for a check up, and a FIV/Feline Leukemia test.
Everything checked out great.

The shelter says he is 1, the vet says 2. I have no idea what his died was
before I got him,  but his coat is pretty rough. Not too shiny. He is also
very lethargic. He sleeps a lot. At first I think it was because of his
surgery, but now it's been a week. He acts like a senior cat. Always using
my lap to jump down off the desk. Can only play with a feather toy for a
second, before plopping back down on the ground. Only gets up to move to
another place to sleep etc.

He has a very healthy appetite, and is always eating. I am feeding him
Wellness wet and dry food. His stools have always been runny. Sometimes
part solid, then half runny. I figured this was because of a change in
diet, but a week later - i still haven't seen a solid stool.

And just tonight, I popped the top off the litter box, where he had just
gone, and there were a few drops of blood on the runny, light coloured
stool. This freaked me out.

So I looked it up, and it sounds like he has the symptoms of Giardia.
Lethargy, runny stools, drops of blood in stool, bad coat.

Am I being a cat hypochondriac? The vet checked him out okay. Do they
usually check for this stuff?

He seems happy, always rubbing against my legs, purring, smiling following
me around, talking. sleeping all day and night...

Am I too concerned, and I should just let him adjust and get used to his
diet, or should I bring him straight back to the vet? (I hate to do this
with all that he's been through lately).

Thanks!
