So Spike came back from his neuter surgery just fine. His vet is very thorough, thus a fecal screen was done. He had graciously provided them some fresh poo. Well it came back with Giardia and tritrichomonas. Per the vet, it is sub-clinical so in English, not symptomatic. Regardless, it needs to be treated as he is so tiny and young. He has been prescribed Ronidazole for 14 days. Unfortunately, I also have to isolate him for that time. So, back into the spare bedroom he goes. He has his cat tower, water fountain and his own litter robot.
We’re not too worried about the adults in the clowder as they are very healthy and mixed breeds (aka Heinz 57 cats) don’t generally have issues with this.
I can’t think of where he might have picked it up. The only places he has been were his cattery and my house. I doubt the cattery has she is scrupulously clean. I wonder if my adults have it and are also asymptomatic.
So we’ll treat the little guy and do another fecal in 4 weeks and see.
Has anyone had any experience with these bugs…
