FCL

Hi FCL

A normal faecal sample will not conclusively show TF - a pinch sample should be taken from the rectum and immediately analysed to be sure of getting an accurate result.......

If this is negative then definitely diet may help - I have a girl with an iffy tum and we control it with diet. What concerns me and makes me think TF is that 2 came in with it - it is so prevalent in multicat pedigree households like breeding homes

Hope you manage to get to the root of whatever is causing the problem whatever it turns out to be!
