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

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Longhair | Female | spayed | 2 months and 19 days old | 1.8 lbs

I have updated question about my kitty I saw Freya do her poo and she had diarrhea sadly and a speck of blood in poo so I think she may have Giardia again. Not sure how she developed it again but her and her sister have always had diarrhea since adoption..and they said the vet gave the ok for their adoption..how much is the medicine for this? And where can I go for a low income at the moment? I want them better soon.

Medicine price will depend on if it is confirmed as giardia through a fecal exam, and what medication and how much is prescribed. Your vet can likely send the prescription to a local pharmacy or veterinary pharmacy for cheaper if you can't afford their prices. If you're having trouble affording veterinary care in general, this site may help give you some options to make it more affordable so your kitties can get care: https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/having-trouble-affording-veterinary-care
