I’ve been battling chronic diarrhea in my now 9 month old and now my 2 year old cat has it too after we introduced them 2 months ago. Sigh. We’ve had multiple fecal tests, tried fortiflora, S. Boulardii, elimination diet (on a rabbit protein only diet right now), and nothing is helping! The fortiflora seems to be firming up Oliver’s (2 yo) poop just a smidge, but Loki’s (9 mo) is still a watery, stinky mess.
After combing through the threads on here, I think I want a PCR on Loki. He was rescued off of the street in our neighborhood at 4 weeks old and was a walking parasite harbor. I had no idea that the regular fecal flotation they offered me didn’t check for C. Diff, trich, etc. I can’t believe that’s never been offered to me at the vet all of these months of smelly agony! My husband and I are currently trying to conceive and I need to get this sorted out just in case whatever it is is zoonotic. And I owe it to my first babies to get them some relief!
In your experience, how much did a diarrhea PCR panel cost for you? I know it’s different across regions, but I’m just curious on what I could expect.
