For all of the breeders out there who learn best with "hands on" , instead of reading. I put this video together for you. If you have a cat with very smelly poo, a cat that seems to have irritable bowel, or a cat that seems to have blood in its stool every now and then, this test is highly recommended. I also suggest you run this test on all of your breeding cats. Many cats and dogs will have Giardia and never have loose stool. Symptoms will usually show up in the kittens or puppies that are born. Usually around 6wks. This can be one of the causes for "weaning diarrhea". Since this test is both easy to perform and very reasonably priced, I suggest this test also be done prior to any breedings to outside cats or dogs. (outside not meaning outdoors, but outside of your breeding program) A vet can perform this test or you can do it at home.
The incubation period for Giardia is about 13 days so if your kitten or puppy tests positive for this parasite, please notify the breeder you got your kitten or puppy from. It is very important that they know.
