Subject: [ferrethealth] Re: mucus w/frank blood (stool)
OK, it's Buddy. Blood in recent stools are more brownish red--from a bit further up but
still reddish. Very liquid. He's eating pretty well if I give baby food, and walking pretty well
for him. Taking samples in in the morning, along with all the info I can find (on how
coccidia hides, different types to look for, etc.)
Now, (1) if this is coccidia, is the treatment 10 days or 21 days? I saw both in the archives.
(2) What else should I suggest that my vet look for (especially considering that the blood
isn't as "frank" as it was when I first found it)?
Thank you.

one at a time it will take longer but without clear evidence you have little other choice that
I can see...
