My one year old cat just got diagnosed and I want to hear realistically what are the chances of him surviving?

There is no medicine that cures it and we just have to wait and see how it progresses. He got antibiotics and medicine to reduce vomiting. The only symptoms he has had is increased meowing. He eats good and is playful so this came as a shock that he had this much wrong with him.

Vet didn't find anything that could have caused this and we don't know if this is a one time thing or will this happen again. He has clostridium perfringens in his gut that creates toxins but we have managed to keep it under control with a high fiber diet for half a year now. Could this still be cause by the bacteria or something?

I am truly devastated that my pretty boy is so sick so any help regarding this would make my day.

We have two cats that have clostridium perfingens. We got a kitten a year ago and he gave the bacteria to our previous cat. It is chronic and antibiotics did not cure it. The only thing keeping the symptoms away is a high fiber diet.

Now the kitten is a one year old cat and he got pancreatitis suddenly. It is not looking too good and I have started thinking of getting another cat for the older one if he passes away.

My worry is that because the older cat has chronic clostridium perfigens bacteria in her gut, it will surely infect the new cat if we get one? Is there any way around this because it is not at all pleasant for the cat so I would not want our new cat to get the bacteria. Our older cat is only three years old so it would seem cruel to keep her alone for the rest of her life when she so clearly enjoys company.

Last year I was here trying to understand why. Why me? Why is this happening? Will I ever have a child of my own? How much grieve can one person endure?

Now I am here telling you all that there is hope.

I have had two natural miscarriages and one mmc of twin babies. After the loss of our twins I lost hope entirely. We started testing why this kept happening but all we got was that everything looks good and that we are young. We decided to try the fourth time using progesterone and a low dose aspirin.

And here I am, writing this with a healthy baby boy kicking in my belly. I never thought we would get through all of it but we did. So do not lose your hope, you will get through all of this as well.💕
