Hi,

Don't know if people are still visting this forum, but I have recently found out about this because my Siamese boy is infected - the vets here in the UK have been unable to diagnose it, but everything I've read about it fits with his symptoms. According to a UK paper there is every chance he will throw it off between 9 months and 2 years. Meantime it is hard going.

I'm concerned that I have been advised to feed him an expensive pet food which can only be purchased through a vet and which did not do any good anyway. Not everyone can do this and may think the only solution is to have the cat put to sleep. I've achieved "control" results with white fish, baby rice and 1 capsule of biffidus a day. As soon as he touches the cat food we go right back to dribbling and faecal matter on the soft furnishings.

The drug mentioned, which apparently can help, is not licenced for use in the UK, so we will have to keep going and hope he does kick it off.

Hope my reply helps someone and if anyone has any suggestions for me I would be glad to hear from them
