Parasite control for the Bengal cat

Bengal Cat Parasite and worming protocol

Bengal kitten parasites are a very maddening problem to deal with. You could spend hundreds or thousands of dollars trying to diagnose and treat parasite problems. The Bengal cats from many catteries suffer from parasite problems. If you just answer an ad for Bengal kittens for sale, you could end up getting a discount kitten that costs you thousands in veterinarian bills. Parasites also endanger the life of a Bengal kitten. It really is true that you get what you pay for. Always ask how the breeder undertakes kitten worming. If they do not worm their Bengal kittens, you should be worried as a buyer.

When you get your Bengal cat, do not let a Bengal breeder tell you that diarrhea is a problem with changing the food, stress or a weak digestive system. If your Bengal has diarrhea that continues for weeks it is most likely a parasite. If a foul odor accompanies the diarrhea it is almost  certainly a parasite.

Giardia

TTF Trittrichomonas Foetus

Coccidia

Panacur cat wormer

Giardia is another parasite you may experience in your cats. Cats can get this parasite from water supply and from eating insects or rodents. 


Symptoms are more apparent in younger animals than in older animals and can be either sudden, temporary, intermittent, or chronic in nature. In some cases, cats will exhibit diarrhea that is soft, frothy, greasy, and with a strong, awful odor or excessive mucus. In addition this parasite can be transferred to humans. 

We treat kittens with panacur. Panacur is a foul tasting liquid or powder which can be mixed with food.  


Panacur - No Rx required

Dosage: varies

Method: given orally – or mix with food

Frequency: 6 straight days

Ronidazole a treatment for TTF in cats

Dr. Jody Gookin is the expert on this parasite.  She wrote a manual which describes how you can cure TTF. This is the most difficult parasite to defeat. Ronidazole is the only drug which cures TTF and it is an off-label treatment.  I have experienced this parasite firsthand and I can tell you it took herculean efforts to cure it. 

T. foetus causes diarrhea, characterized by cow pie-like stools that are often gassy and malodorous. Sometimes there can be mucus or fresh blood in the stool or feces can dribble from the anus. Several breeders have commented that in symptomatic cats the stool has a very strong and unpleasant odor. Importantly, absence of diarrhea does not mean that a cat is free of infection, particularly in multi-cat households where another cat may have tested positive T. foetus. Adult cats appear to be less inclined to develop diarrhea in response to T. foetus, but nevertheless may serve as a source of the infection for others. Cats can come down with symptoms of T. foetus infection anywhere from days to years after exposure.
