I agree you will do more damage to your cat with the constant over treatment with antibiotics. Even after our cats were treated with Ronidazole, they continued to have diarrhea and soft stool. The only way we have seen any improvement in our cats has been by changing them over to a raw diet, they have always had a digestive enzyme and probiotic. Since starting a raw diet they have had normal bowel movements and not had one episode of diarrhea.T foetus is only one of seven (?) species that are tested for. In Krista’s case, she had clostridium which is treated with Flagyl. But that’s the rub. Until you know for sure that it is a bacterial overgrowth/infection causing the diarrhea, the pill-and-pray strategy of prescribing antibiotics for an unconfirmed or suspected infection could be doing more harm than good. Antibiotics aren’t picky and are wiping out the good bacteria needed for normal digestion of food (aka good stool formation.). If you aren’t helping to regenerate these colonies with something like s. Boulardii with MOS (a prebiotic), then diarrhea or soft stools will continue until the flagyl (or other antibiotic) is discontinued.
