So a few months ago my Cat ( Link) was very sick with toxoplasmosis. He recovered but it was recommended he not eat raw mince again because of the risk of infection. Previously we had been giving him a lot of raw mince.
Link loves raw mince and goes mad when we are cooking it to make spaghetti etc. and sometimes I’m tempted to give him a little but I don’t.
I guess I’m confused about the overall reasoning behind the mince ban. I know he caught the parasite from the mince. I know most cats don’t have symptoms from toxoplasmosis and it may be likely my other cat got it and was not affected. So did Link just get a very strong version of the infection or is his body particularly susceptible for some reason? Is giving him a small amount of mince very dangerous??
