To determine T-Foeotus, you need to have a PCR Panel done. Have your Vet check out this link: http://vetmed.tamu.edu/gilab/service/assays/tritrichomonas
I believe this is likely the case, especially if you allowed the new kitten to mingle about your home with your resident cat and they both share litter boxes. A stray can also have FIV, FeLV, heartworms, fleas, and other parasites that can be easily transmitted without getting prior treatments before introductions begin. This is why it's very important to keep new ones seperated until a vet can look them over.
My cat, a siamese is having this problem for a few days now. She is 5 months old. Her cat food is Friskies product of Purina. I observe that she has less appetite now, less energy since she has this problem. I hope someone could help me. because the other day she has some blood spot on her poop.
The new cat is a rescued white kitty with Odd eyes (green and blue eyes) I just found him in the street. I think he is about 6 weeks now. I haven't bring him to the vet because right now I am far from the vet clinic. Do you think the rescued kitty has some parasites that affect my cat??
please help!
Wow...Fluke worms? I got the impression that Lucy was a kitten. How old is she? Was she a stray or feral? It's really unusual for a small kitten to have this, kind of unusual for a cat to have this anyway, but I guess it really depends on where you live.
I adopted Lucy 2 months ago from an animal welfare society. My first kitten (Sesame came as an adult). Lucy has had loose stools the entire time and occasionally it is liquid. She has been de-wormed twice so we finally sent her stool sample to a bigger lab (Argonne National Lab, I assume, based on the cost). Diagnosis came back as Fluke worms. We put her on Droncit last Friday but still the stools are loose (10 days). I am hoping this medication just takes some time so if anyone has any information, I would appreciate it. Next sample being sent to 'Argonne' this Friday regardless.
The little 'squirt' also likes to poop too close to the edge of the box and it gets all over her tail. Then she jumps onto my shoulder and buries herself in my hair.
Good thing she is cute.
