Glad to hear Cab is doing well!

What were the final results of Cab's final PCR test after the meds? This thread was so interesting to read! I'm going to make sure to get a well pet exam and a negative fecal on all of my joeys prior to them leaving my house, for sure. It seems like the ethical thing to do.

I am sorry to report Cab still had tri trich and Danielle and her vet talked about Cabs future and quality of life alone and on meds that would give him neurological side effects so they decided it was in Cabs best interest to be euthanized. Danielle Had a hard time with this and was very upset. As you can imagine. That has been quite some time ago. Since then she has put together a colony of 5 soon to be six loves of her life. I cut all their nails yesterday! They all look happy together with her and healthy and full of vim and vinegar!

Can this tri-trich thing be misdiagnosed as ring worm when taking a skin a skin swab?

not this time, his vet saw it under the scope, gave a round of meds, days later saw it again, put him on different meds, towards the end of that course of treatment she sent some stool to zoologic and they still saw it. so then went on a diff med and after that the tri trich was still there, I believe that's how it went. I hope Danielle sees this and corrects me if I am wrong.
