Okay so Oscar was a stray that my clinic took in 4 weeks ago, and now he
has been at our new house for a week.

During his stay at the vet, he has had THREE fecal flotations done, all of
which came up negative.


snip

The vet doesn't seem to have any suggestions except to continue to run
more tests on his poo. Visually, his stool appears completely normal (in
colour and consistency). Although there was a couple times when it was
lighter in colour, foul bitter smelling, and appeared to have pinhead
white dots in it. I took a sample of this stool for a fecal flotation =
negative.


I've had kittens that I *knew* by smell/color of their poop that they had
coccidia, but their fecal tests came back negative. I went ahead and
treated with Albon and within a couple weeks, the poop was normal.
Have you seen any worms in the poop? Did the white dots look like grains of
rice?

Off the top of my head, the only other thing I can think of that bloating
would indicate would be FIP. Does he seem fine otherwise? I wouldn't
really think FIP since his bloodwork was normal.
