hey everyone!
I just have a random question. Both of my kitties became sick within 24 hours of each other and diagnosed with clostridium overgrowth( a bacteria).
Now my question is, both of my cats eat different things. My little boy eats fancy feast classic pates only( he has some food allergies and this is what has kept him normal for over a year now) and my little girl eats wellness. She does eat a little of his food every once and a while but maybe half a can MAX.
My boy got sick on Sunday morning and my girl got sick on Monday night. Whatever food my boy ate Saturday night, my girl did not eat before my boy got sick. I fed my girl a little fancy feast on Sunday but a different can and flavor than what my boy ate Saturday night.
So here I am at the point, something made both my cats sick, the vet isn’t sure. They are indoor only.
SO do you guys think that the fancy feast could be what is making them both sick? Even though my little girl barely eats it, she does eat a little. I honestly am not sure what it could be. My cats are both on metronidazole for the diarreha they had and it is DEFINITELY helping.
Do you guys think if something was wrong with the food that made them both sick, would the medication even help them? They are still getting fed fancy feast while on the medication and I’m thinking if it was the food then the medication wouldn’t be helping them?
Just want someone else’s opinion as I’m trying to rule out the food and just assume they caught some weird bug or bacteria that made them sick ( clostridium is a bacteria they catch from the environment basically)
