I am looking for a grain free dry food for my 5 month old snow bengal girl. Found this available via internet, looks good no? (use google to translate.) The various flavours have 70 to 80 meat/fish, no nasty chemicals, grain free, high protein...

Any ideas about this food? I can get it via internet, but is it ok for a 5 month old??? She is on Affinity Advance Kitten kibble which has all sorts of crap in it... came from the breeder like that.

(Aside, I have a vets appointment because her stools are quite loose (came that way from breeder who said it was the food she was previously on) and I am woried about TF...)

Can't help with the food, sorry!

I wouldn't be changing her diet in any way until you know she doesn't have any infection, parasites or indeed TF and has finished any treatments necessary. If you change her food in the middle of all the above you run the risk of not knowing whether treatment is/is not working.

Your baby girl is soooo cute! Thanks for sharing a bit of her with us.

I live in the southwest US, so I have no clue about the food you are investigating. Here's hoping someone more knowledgeable can address that diet plan.

This forum's sticky thread is titled Tritrichomonas Foetus (A cause of diarrhoea in cats): viewtopic.php?f=9&t=3876. There's lots of information there and definitely worth reading.

And here's another written by Dr. Judy Gookin, the guru of TF in the US: http://www.purringpost.com/2012/02/06/v ... as-foetus/. This interactive link with pull-down menus may be less time consuming to absorb.

Whatever you decide to do with her food, do not change it until after PCR testing results for TF are returned, the treatment plan is complete, and Tusara tests clear. Please remember to pool a 3-day sample a minimum of 7 days after any antibiotics. In-house fecal analysis will NOT diagnose TF but it could easily be mistaken for Giardia.

Wishing you and Tusara the best of luck!
