Thread: Schrödinger finally diagnosed...

He was placed on an experimental drug that has appeared to sort the problem for the moment. One of the other posts on another thread mentioned another illness - CMH or something.


Did you get the kitten from the same breeder??

I have never heard of this but very interesting,will ask at work if they have come across it if not will have do some googling myself & take info in,so pleased for Schrodinger that he has been diagnosed.I know in the past we have had animals in with that problem & never found out the answer & then suddenly they seem to be ok so if they can outgrow it that would be the reason why but a lot better for all if it is diagnosed & treated early on.As I said in another thread the only thing we have found that caused chronic diarrhoea & couldn't pin point the cause was the simple use of plastic dishes,got rid of those & problem resolved itself.
Isn't it great where information like this can be passed on & help others.....

This is exactly what my cat had. Treated with same drug. He had something called tritricomonus virus and corona virus. Now happily putting on weight.
