Tritrichomonas blagburni (also known as Tritrichomonas foetus) is a single-celled parasite. Cats are infected with tritrichomonas by accidentally ingesting the parasite when they drink contaminated water, groom an infected cat, or groom themselves after being contaminated with infected feces, litter, or bedding.

Whipworms are intestinal parasites measuring about 1/4 inch (6 mm) in length. They live in the intestinal tract of cats where they can cause severe irritation. Whipworm infection results in watery diarrhea, weight loss, and general debilitation. Fecal testing will not detect every infection. Whipworm infection in cats is rare in North America but cases appear to be rising.

Regular preventive health care for your cat can increase the length and quality of her life. Healthcare guidelines are established and kept up to date using the most recent evidence-based recommendations including the recommendation that all cats receive a complete veterinary examination at least once a year or more frequently, depending on their individual needs and health concerns.
