What drugs are currently used against T. Foetus in cats?

These signs generally resolve if the drug is withdrawn immediately, but can last one to two weeks and may require costly and intensive emergency veterinary care. Cats need to be monitored closely while receiving Ronidazole for signs of neurotoxicity. If symptoms of toxicity are observed, owners should discontinue treatment.
