Cat has bloody diarrhea. How much is Giardia medicine and affordable vet?

Mittens is a lovely looking girl! Unfortunately there isn't anything you can do at home for her, she has to see a vet as soon as possible because she sounds quite sick. It's serious that she's had diarrhea with blood in it, she's not eating much, she's quite thirsty, and is lethargic. I would see if you can borrow money from family or friends, if your vet will accept payment plans, or you can apply for VetCare Finance to afford a vet for her. I would take her into a vet first thing in the morning, and I hope one of my resources helps you afford a vet! http://www.vetcarefinance.co.nz/

Changing food multiple times can contribute to this diarrhea. Bently does need to see a vet now for this. Please take her into a vet today. If paying for a vet is an issue, you can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. Best Friends also has a list of resources that offer financial assistance on their website. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com http://bestfriends.org/resources/financial-aid-pets http://lessonsfromaparalyzeddog.com/when-pet-owners-cant-afford-veterinary-bills/ http://www.dogheirs.com/resources-affordable-veterinary-care/

Hi from Bangladesh! Don't worry, it may take a few more days to see improvement. You may also try a bland diet of boiled chicken, rice, and plain canned pumpkin (not the pie filling) to help firm up the stool. Using a probiotic for cats and dogs can help as well. Hope this helps!!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Ziva. I recommend that she sees her veterinarian. She will need to have her stool tested as she could have giardia or another type of infection. Based on these results medications can be prescribed. I hope this information helps!

I am sorry to hear about Mitsu. I would recommend looking to see if there is a low cost vet clinic in your area. Sometimes the humane society or animal protection league will have lower cost veterinary care. Your kitty needs a fecal exam to check for intestinal parasites. You can look here: http://m.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_veterinary_care.html for more ideason how to afford veterinary care. In the meantime, I would recommend starting a probiotic such as Purina Fortiflora which you can purchase from a vet clinic or online. You can also try a cat dewormer such as pyrantel which many pet stores sell until you are able to have her seen. Best of luck to you and Mitsu!

Giardia can only be treated with either Metronidazole or Fenbendazole at the appropriate dose for your cats weight. I would consult your vet for the appropriate dosage for your cat since they have examined him before. Veterinary client patient relationship act says that a pet has to be examined by said vet who prescribed that pet medicaiton. I hope this helps. Best wishes and take care.

Unfortunately there's not much you can do at home. Feed her a bland diet of boiled chicken and boiled white rice to help her intestines to calm down. Make sure he is drinking plenty of water. This may help but it will not fix the problem. Weight loss in a cat Pepper's age can be related to many things including kidney disease, thyroid disease, diabetes, cancer and less likely worms. I would assume the diarrhea is related to whatever is causing the weight loss. You should contact the local humane society and see if there are any programs available to assist low income individuals. Pepper needs blood work, a urinalysis and possibly radiographs to figure out whats going on and to see if it can be treated. I hope things work out.
