My 3 fosters have had treatment for coccidia since they were brought in my house 5 weeks ago. Last Friday, they were all speutered and they did a fecal exam at the time. They were negative for coccidia. They still have diarrhea, which has been on and off since I brought them in. The vet has switched their food (away from SC Kitten Formula) to see if that was too rich for their systems. Since they have been on it for 5 weeks now, and I've had no other kittens affected this way, I'm not sure this is the right answer.
I have seen mixed opinions on coccidia. Some say that it goes deep into the system and a fecal doesn't always show it. Others say the fecal exam should be definite.
Has anyone had experience with coccidia coming back on them after they have been cleared? I so desperately want to get them out of quarantine and start socialization in earnest with them. I can't bring them in with my other babies until I'm certain this is cleared up.
Any insights are appreciated!
