Kitty E-coli

This is a special place for cats to share their love and support for each other during difficult times; it's a place to light candles, give a "get well purr" and let everyfur know they are never ever alone.

Hi- my cat Tabitha (who currently lives with my parents since my landlord won't allow pets frown) recently contracted e-coli. We asked the vet how this could have happened and if we should throw out her food and do a heavy cleaning but the vet did not seem too worried.

Tabby pretty much stays in my room at home (she's 17 now) and has her very own litter box, food bowl and water bowl. We have two other cats that are 4 years old and we don't want them to contract this and I also don't want my parents to get sick while Tabby's being treated.

The vet just said to give her some antibiotics and she'll be fine, but e-coli is something that us humans usually take more seriously so I was wondering if any of you had ever come across this?

Hi- I'm going to repost this in the health section. I am new and didn't even see that section when I posted here. Also, Tabby is doing better- she's taking her medications and acting healthier.

Glad to hear that Tabitha is doing better. I noticed you have some responses in the Health forum, so we'll close this thread.
