Search Results for Query: Cryptosporidium

Hi all, a new member here! I wanted to see if anyone has had to treat their fur babies for Cryptosporidium and how you got on? After months of bad poops, we discovered my two kittens (from different litters) have it - they are currently on day 15 of 21 days of Tylosin. This really made a...

Hi LillyBeth123, did you manage to get your kitten free of cryptosporidium? My two have it at the moment 😔

...The vet also suspected Tritrichomonas and we did a PCR fecal test for a variety of parasites. All of which came back negative EXCEPT Cryptosporidium which was positive. We have her on Azithromycin today. - We have had blood test and GI panel done. The vet explained everything on the blood...

...with this. So, I did a search on this site and here is what I came up with in terms of previous posts - Search Results for Query: Cryptosporidium | TheCatSite. Hopefully there is some worthy information in some of these posts while you wait to hear from others directly - which I hope is soon!

I know this is yuck - but people need to know what they are looking at. This is Cryptosporidium poo. Most cats present with very yellow, watery, mucousy, and sometimes blood bowel movements. My cat never had blazing diarrhea...more like soft serve ice cream like bowel movements

I am so sorry you are dealing with this too. I adopted a cat about a year ago from a humane society. He came home with Cryptosporidium...but I had NO idea for the first 7 months. His bowel movements were yellow, smelly, and looked like soft serve ice cream. Vet told me this was ok. Smh. I got a...

My kitten tested positive for Cryptosporidium. Has anyone gone through this? What steps should you take to eliminate it from the environment? What medications did you end up giving your kitty? How long did it take to cure? Any recommendation would be amazing! Stressed cat mama.

...a couple of paragraphs from the middle of it: (I have added emphasis for you) Over 100 compounds have been used to attempt to treat Cryptosporidium spp. infections in mammals and no compound is consistently effective. In cats, Cryptosporidium spp. associated diarrhea sometimes resolves after...

I highly the Hills GI Biome food. It's pricey but worth it! It def helped firm up my cats stool.

Update.. it turned out to be Cryptosporidium

Hi Cliffchen, how is your kitten? My two have crypto - it’s a nightmare and we are struggling to get rid of it :(

...with soft serve ice cream like bowel movements that were yellow and very smelly. I had a fecal PCR ran on him and he was post for Cryptosporidium Felis. We've been fighting with meds off and on since September 2023. It's been so frustrating. It's my understanding that it can be difficult to...

Also, as a side note. Azithromycin actually made my cats poo worse for a while shortly after starting it. Tylosin did the same thing. I had to titrate up slowly (over a couple days) to minimize side effects.

...Many of them will test for Clostridium perfringens, C. difficile, Campylobacter, FPV, Salmonella, Tritrichomonas foetus, Giardia and Cryptosporidium. So, know what is included in the one that is run on your cat. And, ask if there other things that should be tested for as well. Frankly, at...

Thanks a lot for your response. I’ll keep it in mind. The vet I go to said they would have to send it out to lab for the comprehensive test. So I would just ask for a “fecal PCR test” and make sure that what you’ve listed is included?

I was curious so I looked it up Parasites - Cryptosporidium (also known as "Crypto") | Cryptosporidium | Parasites | CDC It's a parasite.make sure all your water bowls are clean. Probably shouldn't use tap water

Here's a more technical article. TYLOSIN But I am encouraged by this piece: I mean other articles have said that metro is effective against c. perf. But that has not been my experience. Metro seemed to actually set Krista further back. She had a solid poop for a day and then even more mush...
