Tritrichomonas foetus (PCR) Test for Cats

Tritrichomonas foetus can cause chronic diarrhoea and colitis in cats. The symptoms primarily include loose or watery stools, frequent defecation, and sometimes faecal incontinence. This condition can be particularly persistent and challenging to treat, with affected cats often experiencing recurrent or chronic symptoms. The Tritrichomonas foetus test for cats can detect low levels of the protozoan. It’s important to note that not all infected cats will show signs of illness; some may be asymptomatic carriers, contributing to the spread of the infection. Early detection allows for treatment, and identifying asymptomatic carriers also helps in controlling the spread of the infection within multi-cat households.
