Subject: Coccidia

I have a question. Early in the spring my fuzzies contacted
Coccidia. We think my husband carried it in on his shoes, as
he works around apartments with lots of trees, bird droppings.
Got it all cleared up.

Two days ago I noticed foul smelling stools, one stool bright
green. I caught the one doing the green poop this morning,
took a fresh sample to the Purdue Vet school. They've got
coccidia again. I've been trying to make certain no one wears
their 'street shoes' into the ferret's area.

The vet I spoke with said ferrets can carry coccidia like a
protozoa in their intestines and it can flare up. Is this
true? Tomorrow I get the meds and get to work again on all of
them.
