Treatment
Most cats are treated on an outpatient basis unless they are severely debilitated. An antibiotic such as clindamycin is used for two weeks beyond the resolution of signs. Cats with ocular problems also may need a steroid eye drop to resolve the inflammation. Some medications for Toxoplasma can cause bone marrow suppression and would require monitoring and supplements to correct any problems. Other drugs are being examined for effectiveness against toxoplasmosis. Signs should begin to improve within 48 hours of treatment. Frequent follow-up examinations by a veterinarian will be needed to assess response to treatment and to decide when the drugs can be discontinued.
