My three year old female spade cat has been diagnosed with salmonella. Vet said no cure, no treatment. Everything I read says there is treatment. She has had this condition, runny, bloody stool for a year, but never been diagnosed until now. What is the treatment, what are the medicines and I will try yet another vet.

Poor Rosie! In my experience, salmonella is a relatively rare infection. However, it can be treated with antibiotics and a bland diet may help as well. You can definitely get a second opinion from another vet. I am happy to answer any questions you may have along the way!
