I recently took my outdoor cat to the vet because she was breathing heavily, severely dehydrated, weak, and near death. Vet took blood samples, did x-rays, and eventually gave a diagnosis of Toxoplasmosis. She has responded very well to the antibiotics. Has another week of meds to go. Should I take my other outdoor cat to the vet? He has a bit of a cough. They share a litterbox. Is it possible he has Toxoplasmosis as well? We also have a Chico, our indoor cat. Do we need to worry about him? He has no current symptoms. He had sneezing a few weeks ago, but appears to be fine now.

My cat has FIV and was recently diagnosed with taxoplasmosis due to problems with his eye. They had us on treatment taking medication twice a day every 12 hours, but my cat stopped eating and seemed to be barely able to move. They had us take it down to once a day which we did for 2-3 weeks and my cat seemed ok. Now they want us to go back to twice a day for another 3 weeks, and it’s been a few days and my cat went back to acting the same way: not really eating barely moving. Keep in mind the eye symptom was the only one noticed. He’s also on steroids ever since being diagnosed with FIV. Could the dosage be too high or is that a normal result of medication?

I just got this cat 2 months ago. He's a very happy guy, and acts totally normal. I took him to get neutered a week ago. Today I noticed a black area on his tongue that I hadn't seen before. He's always been a little sneezy (hence the name), and had little crusties on his eyes that I clean daily. I thought maybe his glands were swollen before, but since he's been acting fine I didn't think much of it. The black on his tongue however had me a bit more concerned. Could he have contracted something while at the vet, or has he always had this? I have another cat, but she does not have any of these symptoms. I'm very worried about him and would just like to know if he will be okay, and if anyone has an idea of what might be causing this? Will his symptoms worsen before I can get him checked out?

Hello! We have a stray kitty that we found on the street. She's been living with us for about 1.5 months. Last Thursday she started to behave disoriented and partially or completely blind. On Sunday at 1am she had seizure. We took her to Emergency Clinic. They Put her on Clindamycin and Keppra for seizure prevention. We picked her up this morning and took to a neurologist. She said doing MRI is waste of money and she would put the kitty down. The kitty is 3 months old. I wanted a second opinion, so we managed to get another appointment in different clinic. The neurologist didn't tell us to necessary put her down. He told us that we can keep going with Clindomycin for another 2-3 weeks. But he said that since kitty is that young, chances are next to none. And none of them knows the exact cause of blindness or seizure. Kitty has good appetite, and can walk. But doesn't recognize me or my wife anymore and avoids contact, especially when somebody tries to touch her head. Doctors stated that she hissed when they tried to touch her. However, I think she tried to defend herself, since she's been to 3 hospitals and dozen of doctors/nurses in 2 days. She is not aggressive at home but she still look disoriented . Another vet suggested Albon could help her brain too. I want to give this little one a chance, since she's been through a lot already(burnt paws, prolapsed rectum). We keep her isolated in a cage in a separate room, since we have 2 of our own cats. Would you give her time to try to fight whatever her disease is? Is it still worth spending a lot of money on MRI? Thank you P.S. Looks like her vision got better, she reacts to movement sometimes Kitty has whip worms and was prescribed Panacur

I have a cat. Chase, who was diagnosed with Toxo. Vet said to start Clindomysin. I am scared. I dont want him to have the side effects. I have another cat so should I put him in a huge cage for the safety of my other cat? He has had 2 seizures since May. He is a rescue.
