Wonderful! So far, the little guy is OK. No other episodes other than the one time. Will definitely tell my vet about that series of treatment if he has to go back. Good luck to you as well! I've been telling everyone I know about this awful parasite. Hopefully, it will diminish over time...

Oops, sorry, one more thing.... was your cat on the Ronidazole TWICE or only once?

Thanks so much for the reply! Unfortunately, my other cat did test positive as well. He may have been the carrier all along. I had a cat that passed away BEFORE I acquired the little guy and she had "issues" that eventually cleared up. She came from a shelter back in the mid-90s, so it's...

One more question... what did you do regarding the litter box? I replaced it midway through the treatment. Brand new box, litter and scooper. I hope that was sufficient!

Thanks for the info! When he was on it back to back, was it the second or first time he took the Ronidazole? I can't imagine getting it in my one cat for that long. How did you do it? Part of the problem is I live alone. Very difficult. I will certainly tell my vet about that if it does come...

Thanks so much, George! That's not encouraging. Wow. I had two cats to medicate. Only one had symptoms though. He finished meds (30 mg) a month and a half ago. Had watery diarrhea one time and then it's fairly normal again. I pray it does not come back! The other cat was nearly impossible to...

OK thanks. I haven't been on here in a few years and searched for similar problems and found this thread.

I have already reposted on my Facebook and asked people to share. I really did not know this was still going on! HOW do we get these products pulled from the shelves? I think I heard about this maybe some 5+ years ago. I'm so sorry for you loss. That is so horrible.

Hello. Does anyone have any experience with their cat being successfully cured of this horrible parasite? My 5 year old is almost finished with his dose of Ronizadole and doing well. I hope it lasts. My 13 year old tested positive as well but with no symptoms. He has a week to go on the meds...

Just found this link. Something really needs to be done about this!!! http://www.hartzvictims.org/

OMG I am SO sorry!!! I saw a news program about this YEARS ago and how Hartz knows about all these cat deaths and will NOT remove this product from their shelves!!!! I am so angry. I can't believe this is still going on!

Why did the vet prescribe all these meds without positive diagnosis? Do not stop the Ronidazole just in case. My cat was confirmed to have Tritrichomonas and is on Ronidazole right now. His diarrhea stopped after a couple of days. He is also on a special diet (Royal Canin digestive dry and...

Hi. This might be a little late but did your cat ever test positive for Trich? Mine just did... took 4 years to figure this out. He just finished his 14 day dose of Ronizadole and is doing well. I pray it doesn't come back. Let me know what happened with your poor kitty. Thanks.

ReginaKitty... the ONLY drug that kills Tritrichomonas is Ronizadole. Most vets misdiagnose this parasite and NOTHING else will get rid of it! I feel your pain. It took 4 years to figure out what was wrong with my cat. He is on this drug for 14 days and the diarrhea stopped after a few days. I...

Hi. I understand that it's hard to test for Tritrichomonas and is often confused with Giardia to the untrained eye. The lab has to be experienced with this and know what they're looking for. My 5 year old Aby was just diagnosed with Trich after having chronic diarrhea for 4 years on and off...
