Thread: Schrödinger finally diagnosed...

It would seem that we finally have had some positive news re Schrodingers runny bum problem from the vet. After having to deal with this every day since he arrived and putting in yet another fecal sample (which was a composite of a number of samples taken over three days) and waiting over two weeks for the results the results came back positive for Tritrichomonas.

The vet, whom had never come across it herself gave me a link of a page on the internet and is going to be consulting a cat specialist to see what can be done for our schrodo and if she can get any medication to treat it.

She did mention that the problem can sometimes solve itself overtime (up to two years it would seem) but that the treatment using ronidazole has seen significant results. I'll await further information and the consult from the specialist before anything is agreed.

Finally we have a name for it and at last we can stop worrying that were giving him the wrong food.

Has anyone here on the forum ever heard of it ? experienced it ? dealt with it ? if so then please do tell.

Additionally, with this coming up he may yet have a temporary reprieve of his castration which was set for next Wednesday, oh and at weigh in today he's currently coming in at 6.5kg's - im not sure his cat tree can take much more abuse as I've had to already knock some nails in it
