Do they chase their tail with coccidia and giardia too though? I always thought that was specific to worms... Giardia I have heard doesn't always show up ina fecal, so I spose she could have had it in December and it just didn't show. Not sure about...

Last couple of weeks I noticed Sophie has been having some very stinky poos, chasing her tail,and has been very gassy. When I noticed the stinkiness and tail chasing, I wormed her (I think it was a week or so ago?) She had been boarded two weeks ago...
