Put a good mix of soil and compost in litter tray for a few days. There are fungi and other bugs out there we have no idea about in the magic mix of intestinal flora</p> <p>Or you could try the intra-rectal faecal implant ??

May be worth check liver parameters.</p> <p>Given that the cat has diarrhoea, I would treat for crypto. I do agree that it does sound like classic Tritrich - though if PCR was negative I wouldn&#39;t treat for it anyway as the treatment has side effect risks for young kittens. Even dead Tritrich would show up on a PCR (if I remember rightly)</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/173160?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 29 Jan 2017 10:15:33 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:4655dd95-98fe-4712-a5ed-c1302d900419Sarah Keir<p>PCR negative for tritrich</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/173158?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 29 Jan 2017 09:30:07 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:d08d3bb3-2105-401f-ab56-956daa137283ruths<p>Yes- I&#39;ve seen cases of tritrichomonas present like this.</p> <p>hope you feel better soon!&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/173157?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 29 Jan 2017 09:15:18 GMT146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:e05501d9-3aa2-4f54-8d0d-8fd04abcb90eGlen McIntosh<p>Has Tritrichomonas been excluded?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
