Scotty, a
4-year-old Scottish Fold who belongs to Dr. Darcie, is an indoor cat with
supervised patio visitations. He was recently diagnosed with Giardia, following
a routine Fecal Examination. Giardia is a single-celled organism that
parasitizes the small intestines. The most common symptom of a giardia
infection is continuous or intermittent diarrhea. Scotty was treated with an
intestinal antibiotic, and his follow-up Fecal Exam came back negative. He has
always enjoyed his trips onto the patio, often lounging in planters, and we
wouldn't want anything to keep him from enjoying the simpler things in life!
