So all the test results were pretty normal and the vet didn't see any Clostridium. The vet wants them to have the Science Diet prescription food and is trying to get some for me for free. Every vet I've ever been to loves those prescription diets, though in this case I don't think that changing...

If he's big enough to be neutered, surely he's big enough to be Capstar'd or Advantage'd?

When I pressed my vet about the fecal transplant, my vet didn't seem to think it could actually be done in practice and was more of an experimental/research thing at this point. However, I talked to one of the other fosters, who told me about a Holistic vet that does fecal transplants. If I do...

So, Just wanted to give an update after doing the 2 weeks of Amoxicillin... To be honest, I don't think they've improved that much. I took them to a specialist on Wednesday, who decided to run some tests (blood test, urinalysis, and Gram stain). I'm still waiting to hear back on what those...

But, I've read that for humans, antibiotics need to be stopped 48 hrs before FMT... and since the kittens are *currently* on Amoxicillin, that means we would have to wait until 2 days after they finish the Amoxicillin to start FMT. As much as I want to do an FMT ASAP, I don't think it would make...

Just wanted to give an update... I started the kittens on amoxicillin two days ago. I'm still trying to get in touch with my vet to ask about the fecal transplant, but I think it may be too late since we've already started the antibiotics. :/

Thanks for your reply- going to spend some time leafing through that info. My vet emailed back today with a few recommendations: 1. Switch them to a high protein/low carb diet such as limited ingredient venision or duck 2. Use benefiber (already doing that) 3. 2-4 weeks (ugh) of amoxicillin plus...

Hi Bells. I always clean with 10% ammonia - all surfaces but especially litter box and scooper. If you can, use plastic litter box liners and change out the litter every day. The medicine you are probably thinking of is Marquis (Ponazuril). Knocks out coccidia in 3 days but it is an off-label...

Whoops, posted that too soon. They're also getting different flavors of Performatrin Ultra canned food twice a day (no fish). That's also grain free. They've been eating that for the last couple of months (though I did recently transition them from kitten Merrick to adult Merrick). I'm now...

Hi micknsnicks - thanks for your response - I'll try to answer your questions. I have not yet got a second opinion... my vet is going to consult with the people who do the test, and I'm not sure what she will recommend after that. They're eating the Merrick adult chicken food (grain free, no...

Hi guys. I have a litter of 5 foster kittens that I have been treating for diarrhea for 4 months and I'm absolutely beside myself. These kittens had every imaginable parasite on the planet. At the end of September they tested positive for c. perf (>6000 thous/g). This was after they had been...
