I dont know what that is either but the vet sounds like he is sorting him out and sending Archie loads of gentle strokes

CarolM (Wendolene) · « **Reply #153 on:** October 30, 2015, 18:56:44 PM »

Oh Alison, poor Archie.

He will feel soooooooooo much better when that's sorted. I hope he's good at taking tablets.

Hugs to both of you

Thank you Sue from Archie and I

Lord, no wonder he's been feeling so poorly Alison.

Ramping up the soothing and healing tummy vibes for him.

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #150 on:** October 30, 2015, 18:27:36 PM »

Just back from the vet and a full analysis of his sample is also showing campylobactor

Archie now also has abs for ten days.

He is showing signs of picking up though and hope this will do the trick.

Have to take him back a week Monday

Great news Alison

Nicola (RockysMum) · « **Reply #139 on:** October 28, 2015, 12:18:47 PM »

I've also never heard of this.

Great news that he's picking up. Hopefully this means you've finally got to the bottom of it and things will improve for him x

He is still sleeping much of the time but appeared more alert yesterday

Here's hoping the Panacur does the trick and this is the end of the poor boy's problems

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #130 on:** October 25, 2015, 14:52:21 PM »

Thank you Carol :hug:That is interesting, I have never heard of it. I remember now the lovely two had blood in their poo.

Poor Biggles

Archie sounds as if he might be the same

Yes it is Panacur

CarolM (Wendolene) · « **Reply #129 on:** October 25, 2015, 14:31:43 PM »

Sending lots of

for you and Archie. Is it Panacur he's been given. Bunty and Biggles were suspected of having Giardia when they were younger and presented with blood in their poo so the vet gave them that. I suspect he was right because both got better.

Biggles, however, started again with tummy troubles and that time the vet did every test imaginable (including Giardia) and all came back negative so he 's now classed as having a sensitive tummy. Very scientific.

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #128 on:** October 25, 2015, 13:32:41 PM »

Thanks Sue, he had the first treatment today in his cod fillet and did not notice

Sue P (Paddysmum) · « **Reply #127 on:** October 25, 2015, 12:37:30 PM »

Alison, it's good that you now know what's going on with Archie. Hope the treatment gets him back on track very soon.

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #126 on:** October 24, 2015, 17:06:14 PM »

Thanks Gill, still a bit of a shock but so glad too

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #125 on:** October 24, 2015, 14:36:17 PM »

I also have never heard of this but good its been dignosed and hope the treatment goes really well

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #124 on:** October 24, 2015, 12:25:55 PM »

Just back from vet and surprised to find the poo sample shows he has Protozoa Giardia as never heard of it

Matthew says it could cause all the symptoms he has been having.

He has powders for ten days but have to take him back Friday for check up.

If symptoms come back after treatment then Archie does have colitis on top of this

Has anyone else had a cat with this

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #123 on:** October 17, 2015, 21:17:22 PM »

Thanks Gill, great idea about the diary will do that.

Could well have been the visitors which set this episode off

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #122 on:** October 17, 2015, 13:40:27 PM »

Hope the RC helps

I would not put him thro anything that was likely to be inconclusive tbh, cant see the point.

I may also help you to keep a diary that shows what is happening around Archie in the house that is not the norm to see if stress is playing a part.

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #121 on:** October 17, 2015, 09:14:17 AM »

Thank You Rosella. He has finally got up and is tucking into his RC food. Was really worried about him last night

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #120 on:** October 17, 2015, 07:54:41 AM »

Am very much hoping Archie is feeling better this morning alison

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #119 on:** October 17, 2015, 01:41:03 AM »

Thanks Rosella

I was given the diet at the vets yesterday so only into second day. Both Parki and Archie like the Royal C sensitive biscuits which is a relief as would be tricky to feed sep. Archie has not requested a half pouch of food yet but when he does I have the Royal C sensitives ones.

I have been giving Parki treats when he is asleep as they are a no no for him now.

He is very sleepy and has been on my bed most of the day, not like him at all

You are right and good idea to give this new diet a good go first.

I have to take a sample of his doings in too. The vet will do a ~~colestomy~~ colonoscopy investigation if I want but said it more than likely would be inconclusive. Poor Archie I have to take him back on the 24th to see how he and the diet are going. Thankfully they both love the biscuits so no probs there. If this does not work will think about raw.

I've just been reading through your posts since April Alison and yes I do see that the condition is becoming more frequent. Dare I ask how much of a careful proper try you have given a change of diet? Having a hoard of furry piglets here, I know how difficult it would be to introduce a different feeding regime but we have had to do it to separate our lot so they are fed in 4 different rooms. I just think giving a change of diet a chance is so less invasive to start with?

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #117 on:** October 16, 2015, 22:56:17 PM »

That has been mentioned with colitis

hollycat · « **Reply #116 on:** October 16, 2015, 22:34:15 PM »

Sounds like IBS, not nice.

alisonandarchie · « **Reply #115 on:** October 16, 2015, 22:30:07 PM »

Thanks Heather you are right

Hi Rosella, not all the time but a day or two before a bout Archie is not himself that is sleepier and quiet. When he has a poo it is loose and there is fresh blood in it usually at the end bit

I usually take him to the vet at this stage as it may clear but comes back again.

He was having two or three bouts a yr until 2015 when over the last few months it seems as soon as the anti inflam wears off it comes back.

Through a bout he goes off his wet food a bit, half a pouch a day. Vet says it is prob as he associates it with the pain

Otherwise he eats some biscuits.

He rarely has a temp. The vet also feels his tum and cannot feel any growths, however his tum can be bloated
