Last weekend my cat Ozzy was staying in a boarding facility for cats, and as usual, I brought his own canned food and some Evo treats(little less than ½ bag), so he can enjoy his favorite treats and not to be so stressed out away from home .I didn’t know back then about the salmonella problems in Natura’s foods. When I read about Natura’s recall of various products and saw that those treats were in the list too I was very worried, but it was too late to do something and we were on our way back home. So I could only hope that my kitty was OK and the treats weren’t contaminated!
And he was perfectly fine for the first two days; the only thing I was concerned about was that I didn’t see any poop yet. But he is going outside for walks on the leash every single day with my husband or my kids, and sometimes he is doing his business outside in the fresh air.
After two days being at home he had a very stinky soft poo, and since then (Wednesday), he had soft stools and a lack of appetite. I was offering him boiled chicken, and was adding pumpkin powder to his wet food; he was showing no interest. His activity level is the same and he is not acting strange or out of ordinary.
Today in the morning I saw blood in his stool and immediately took him to the vet , where he was given SQ fluids with vit. B Complex and B-12 and was prescribed antibiotic Metronidazole. We brought with us a stool sample, so they could run a test to see if it has salmonella.
So the results are going to be in few days, and I hope it’s not salmonella and nothing very serious, so my sweet boy will get well soon.
