Hi. I'm new here and a new cat owner and I'm so frustrated and helpless and looking for some insight. My kitten, just over three months old, has had diarrhea since we adopted her from a shelter at 1.5 months. She has been dewormed, been on sulfa/trimetoprim antibiotics, probiotics, special gastro food, iron supplements for anemia, on toltrazuril for a positive coccidia sample, on fenbendazol for giardia, and on prednisolone for inflammation. All with no improvement (except for about 3 days during the 3 toltrazuril doses, in which she had her only solid stools since we had her, but this did not last). She is the only cat in our house.
Mood wise she is well and playful, has grown and put on weight (though not that much), and eats well. She has had 3 fecal analysis which were positive to coccidia but has had no improvement on either antibiotics or after the toltrazuril. I'm don't know what to do anymore, I don't know what else it could be and it is wearing me down, she has no litter box control and I'm having to clean her and the carpet daily, as well as keeping her confined to a single room at night. I'm changing her diet now to one that is chicken free just in case it could be allergies as I'm running out of things to try. My vet doesn't seem to know what's wrong either and just tells me to be patient.
Has any had experience with diarrhea in kittens taking over a month to resolve? Is this normal? The only thing I've read that seems like it could fit is T.foetus infection, unfortunately the medication for that, "ronidazole", seems impossible to find where I'm at and the vet hasn't detected it in the samples.
