Hi, sadly the saga continues. The vets didn't find anything in the initial poo sample. They prescribed antibiotics for little Naga (as he was showing blood in his poo) and some panacure. The Poos did then harden back up to nice cuban cigar shaped dark / mid brown .... .but now the poos have become loose again. There is inconsistency however, sometimes I see decent hard poos in the tray, other days they are soft patties.
A 3 day grouped poo sample from Naga has been sent off for analysis again.... apparently the initial test DIDN'T include giardia of TF !!!!! (Why they don't beggars belief) .... I've read up on TF extensively now... and I know that a conclusive test is not easy.
The cats both remain active, happy, playful, affectionate and full of lovely energy and both have a huge appetite. The vet has advised they stay on a strict diet of sensitive cat food (wet pouches) ...
They have now been given a course of antibiotics each to try and ease the symptoms (but no one is holding out hope for this to cure it)..... They have had bloods and urine done, all came back normal.
The breeder has been contacted but denied any knowledge of problems with their siblings / parents.
I want to know if anyone has tried this

I'm keen to try and treat the symptoms with a more natural approach than pump them full of endless drugs....
All in all an extremely frustrating situation. They are lovely cats and I'm desperate to get, and keep them in tip top health with the best food and environment....
Any more help suggestions would be welcome. I have wondered if there are any testing labs in the UK where I can send poo samples to for the TF and Giardia testing? I could send them multiple samples myself and cut the vets out.... try to get a firm diagnosis.
