My vet does not want to treat for coccidiosis as it is usually only present
if other stress factors are involved and usually sorts itself out.
**This is often true. But any stress that comes through your household can
lead to the coccidia becoming a problem, as I learned personally (and all
too sadly) when I lost many ferrets last fall when a flu virus came through
and triggered the coccidia. You may want to consider keeping anti-coccidial
medicine on hand and starting it if you would happen to get a virus, or any
stress like new ferrets in and out, etc.**
