Thread: Stomach flu in cats?

I think there are certain water borne 'bugs' that cats and humans can share, not all cats are suseptable but a few years ago we lived in a fairly large village, the water didn't always taste the same or 'right'. My husband was always suffering from... well an upset stomach is the polite description! But so did our kitten, she must have had the squirts for months, lots of tablets and trips to the vets, she was even booked in for a biopsy! Then the water board spent weeks messing around with 'our' water, we were days without the stuff, guess what the cat misteriously got better... our guess was that it was giardia, it is very difficult to prove one way or another but water born infections don't care who or what they infect!
