Tritrichomonas Foetus - "TF" in cats

[sasvermont]

When I spoke with the vet today, we decided to take a new approach to Miley and her problems with her stools. Miley has tested negative, had 10 days of flagyl to try to calm her colon down and now we have decided to change her diet yet again. She (and the others) will be on Science Diet ZD (hypo-allergetic)..... I am also going to try to give her some plain yogurt with Medimucil added. I think I will contact my breeder to see if more TF testing is realistic.

I am happy Miley does not have it, but unhappy that we are still searching for the answer.

I was talking to my vet about the Tritricho thingie. She knew about it but she said to her opinion the problem was another one in most cases: you (and the cats) have most bacteria in their colon but if the colon flora is changed by meds or a certain diet it gets out of balance and then the bad bacteria can proliferate and become dangerous.
She said that in a case like this she would always check the diet first and work on that.
I just had asked her because I wanted to know and I always find her very well informed.

So I hope the new diet does good things to my sweet Miley girl.
