    Sorry, this is a ps. My cat was going to the loo 8 to 10 times an hour. He was so poorly. The vet tried everything, and then happened to come across an article in the vets journal about tritricamonus being found in cats and causing bad tummies. The drug is not metronidazol, but an unlicensed drug called ronydasol or something like that. Happy to give my vets name to pass on to other vets if your cat has same problems.

    Hi Kittialex, thanks for posting!

    Did you experience any side effects with the drug ? i read that it can cause seizures and also how long did you have to administer the drug for until it was cleared up?

    Thankfully schrodo hasn't experienced anything as chronic as 8-10 toilet visits (except when he had his worming tablet!) and weight doesn't seem to be an issue either but all his "deposits" are runny and he does go a number of times a day bless him.

    If you could PM me the details about your vets, etc, that would be super-triffic-fantastic and i can pass that information onto my vet.

    I will give you his details by pm. He got in contact with the Queen Elisabeth Royal Vet College in Potters Bar who told him where to get the drug from.

    Cleared up in a week, with no side effects at all. K
