  • Giardiasis is an intestinal infection caused by a protozoan parasite called Giardia.<\/strong> This parasite can also pose a risk to humans and other animals. Infection may occur through direct contact with an infected Bengal cat or indirectly via contaminated surfaces, water, or litter. Affected cats typically experience soft, greasy diarrhea with a strong odor<\/strong>, and in some cases, the stool may contain excessive mucus<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n

    The Pk-Def (anemia) and PRA-b (progressive retinal atrophy of the eyes) tests are done genetically in a laboratory. Other diseases such as FIV\/FeLV (Immunodeficiency\/Leukemia) are viral and sometimes fatal. The test is done by taking a blood sample at your veterinary clinic. Intestinal parasites (tritrichomonas, giardia, coccidiosis, etc.) are also viral. The test called PCR is done with a stool analysis in a laboratory, through your veterinarian. <\/span>HCM in Bengal cats is only detectable by a specialized cardiologist who performs a cardiac ultrasound.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
