Well, I can't update my original post title (have no idea why). Since I know a few of you wanted me to update you when I got Ozzy's test results back, I figured I'd post this. For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, see my previous posts
Vet called last Tuesday and said the test came back negative. I was super busy when they called, so I didn't get a chance to talk to them about anything, other than that the results were negative for the TF parasite. Have had some family stuff since then, so haven't had a chance to call yet. I'm planning on calling Monday and saying 'Ok, what's next?' because Ozzy's stools were BAD over the weekend.
Now, my boyfriend was taking care of the cats (we had to go out of town), and Ozzy is rather skittish (definitely not a typical Ragdoll), so I'm wondering if he was just super stressed and that's why they were so bad. However, even before we left, they were starting to get bad again. This is just ridiculous, and so frustrating!
His breeder suggested a round of Clavamox & Albon, to see if they help. Not sure what they vets suggestion is, as I haven't called yet. My parents (Ozzy is their cat) have asked me if we should just treat him as if he does have the TF parasite, and see what happens. I guess if we went that route, and it worked, we would treat Brody as well. His breeder just thinks that it seems highly unlikely that they'd both have IBD or food allergies. Stranger things have happened though, so who knows.
What does everyone think?
