Hi There. I wish I had a real update.
I have now switched food and my two kitties still have diarrhea (pudding consistency, not watery) and one has vomited once, which may be unrelated. Otherwise, they are normal, playful cats with healthy coats.
After taking a break while I did the food transition, I am restarted the S Boulardii and probiotics since they can't really hurt. I am also maintaining the Blissful Belly "easily digestible" diet that worked for my younger cat's sibling who is still with the foster so that I am not throwing more variables at these poor cats. I am back to my original belief that this has to be an infection of some kind that hasn't shown up on 2 PCR tests and beginning to strongly suspect t. foetus, which I will not treat unless I get a clear positive result.
I have a house call vet coming early next week since my fractious kitten is impossible to get to the vet. The plan is to do another fecal test and have them both examined to rule out anything that I am missing (is there any point in a blood draw?). If the PCR is negative again, I want to try another round of fenbendazole and metro combined since I saw one perfect poop the last time I tried that before both cats started evading every pilling trick I had in the book. (This time I will try concentrated per Daftcat 75's recommendation so that I can hopefully get it into both of them.)
