Mine were treated with Panacur to sort the Giardia whilst we awaited the results of the TF test and then I treated the TF after with RDZ. My cats samples were sent to Germany for testing. TF although not new in this breed is unfimilar in the grand scheme of all the other things that our lovely kitties can get. Vets are therefore quite uneducated (i'm not tarring all vets the same, but I'm speaking from experience).
I was extremely lucky to have a vet that listened to me when I said about TF after finding this forum and he went away and did his own research - he was shocked to see how this is on the increase in (prominently) pedigree cats - someone on here might correct me but I think the Siamese breeds suffer with it too.
Regarding the samonella - I think the treatment of this needs to take a back seat. By this I'm not saying its less important but if you stop the Giardia, stop the TF then the risk of spread and worsening of the samonella will decrease. A decent quote about samonella is -
There are more than 2,000 different types of Salmonella, a Gram-negative enterobacteria. Typically, a host animal carrying the disease will have two or more different microorganisms or types of Salmonellae bacteria that cause this disease. Risk factors include the cat's age, with younger and older animals most at risk due to their underdeveloped and/or compromised immune systems. Similarly, cats with weak immune systems or immature gastrointestinal tracts are at risk. Cats receiving antibiotic therapy are also at risk because the healthy bacteria that line the digestive tract (or florae), may become imbalanced, increasing the risk of salmonellosis.
Regarding your results of Feline Coronovirus aswell - I'm really sorry to hear that. I know little about that so will let another member give you some advice there.
