My understand that for t. Foetus they can use a fecal loop to get a fresh sample in office. I decided to grab the poop at home and keep it warm on our drive there. I wouldn’t think steroids would effect but supposedly antibiotics can. My experience is that it is not a common test so vets don’t...

I brought home a baby MC on 10/1 and he was ill with diarrhea 8x a day. My original vet wasn’t up to the task nor liked how much research I was doing. I asked for a PCR and it was negative. Little did I know that t. Foetus MUST be fresh sample (guess he didn’t either) and also with a smear it is...

Gabe aka Baby Cat is status quo! Poop is formed but still really soft. He’s gaining weight like crazy. Just wishing the poop would be harder. Though we are far from the pure water/thick cream soup 8x day. He’s been going about 3x a day the past 2 days. He’s eating a ton of dry which is free feed...

Thanks so much!!! It’s been weighing on me. He is so sweet and such a love. I’m hoping the Tylan powder continues to improve his condition. It’s been a long 5 weeks and just want him healthy. Tonight I bleached down the surfaces, hard wood floors and litter pan in his room where he sleeps (with...

THANK YOU! I may ask them for an email address, that’s a great idea. Thank you. That makes me feel a little better. So overwhelming! I’ve always been an adopter... dogs and cats. I always MC were amazing animals and my teenage kids really wanted one. I just want him to be healthy. I’m trying to...

I’ve made 2 posts seeking advice about my Maine Coon kitten that had diarrhea since 10/1; the day he came home. PCR testing came back Coronavirus positive and Clostridium perfringens positive in the millions. Vet states the c. perfringens level is most likely the cause of his diarrhea since he...

. Ooo. Maybe I misunderstood, it’s Very possible. I believe it is a PCR being sent along with a swab. Interesting! I’ll be sure to discuss that. Thank you. I’ll be sure to update when I hear from her with results. He’s doing good now, I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

Update to my original post. We started RC gastro fiber response DRY on 10/26, then wet RC high energy gastro on 10/29. Diarrhea was just as bad.. came home at 3 pm 10/30 to him with mucus leaking out his anus and wet down his legs. He looked quite bad and lethargic. The breeder had given me...

Info overload. LoL. I seriously don’t want him on RC gastro diet but I got so overwhelmed. I think I’ll stick with it for right now and find another vet. I’ll go easy on the pumpkin, 1/2 tsp 2x a day and increase the SB to 3x a day ( to get a full cap in him. He’s 5 lbs). I’ll start over with...

ALSO THANK YOU for taking the time to share your thoughts and experiences. I’ve been working so hard and researching cause it’s my nature as a nurse. BUT I’m truly at the end and banking on the RC gastro fiber response, the RC High energy, SB, and pumpkin. If I don’t see this boat turn around...

I tried slippery elm syrup for a day or so with no change so I took it out of the picture. Breeder and I were worried about using chicken so I put him on just water for 24 hrs then cooked ground beef and rice water and he was worse for that 24 hrs. Breeder said to stop. He was wormed 3x with...

Sorry for the delay. He was on a 10d course of flagyl started on 10/4. I was wondering too about food allergies. But so nervous to keep changing foods. I did start Jarrows SB+MOS yesterday. Just doing a sprinkle a few times a day. What I’m doing is mixing 1/2 tsp of baby food pumpkin and a 1/2...

An internist. The whole situation is depressing. I feel awful for him.

We also stopped all for for 24 hrs then did cooked beef and rice water and it made him worse. So only did for one day.

Looking for advice... picked up our 13 wk old MC boy on 10/1 from a local breeder. He had an eye issue so she wanted him to stay a few extra days to be sure he was ok and his eye looked great at pick up. For eye he was on terramycin then ofloxian which cleared it up though his he produces a lot...

Remi... I’m wondering if you found a solution to diarrhea? I am having an issue with a 15 wk old Maine coon that has had diarrhea from the day he came home.. 10/1. Crazyyyyyy
