Ok.. Baycox kills the Coccidia right?

He has not been caught eating his poop since August when he was on flagyl.

How can I keep him from re infecting himself I'd he is eating as it's comes out of his butt! This can't be normal. He is not a rabbit ! If Baycox kills it then he is not reinfecting right? ( second dose scheduled for a week)

I have been treating him since august for Coccidia with only temporary results. He got better for two days on Albon and flagyl ( with a dose of strong id) then crashed. ( 3 of his siblings presented same symptoms minus poop eating and all responded perfectly to the vet dosed albon flagyl (10 days) and stongid )

Then we tried vet dosed SMZ TMP (14 days) and steroids ...He was clear for ten days before it started creeping back.

Now he has completed 3 days of Baycox ( Sunday) had firmed up to soft but solid.. Then ... This morning it turned to white ( like reptile poo or bird poo) and tonight we are back to goo poo runs. ( not the same pasty white as an over fed poop plus he is not over fed)

Straight FV 20/50 no cream. 8CC once a day 11.5 weeks old. Block HHB (new) and katee Forta diet, cherrios and rice chex. I have not given anything else cause we never get in the clear ...

170 grams . ( yes he is small.. He has been sick for about 6 weeks of his 11 week life)

I have panacure, flagyl, and tons of SMZ . But we have done it all before except the panacure. Vet called these in.

What other ideas?
Lactose intolerance? If lactose - so why do the meds start to work?

Not long enough treatment on SMZ?

Giardia? Wouldn't the flagyl have fixed that?

Malabsorption disorder?

Thinking out loud here.. HELP.

I believe panacur is next - took care of my friend's squirrel that had this going on so long...a second fecal in him showed hookworms. I just am not sure how long you need to wait after the Baycox to use it...

I had his run again and once again it was zip. Nothing found :/

I believe Lenny's mom waited 24 hours but she did panacur first and the. Baycox.

Now the vet gave me 3 doses of panacure for three days.. But isn't it supposed to be repeated in a week or two also?.

I have plain fenbendazole here in powder packets . I could use that to do the second round .. Correct? I know I am jumping the gun just yet but..

Oh and the stink ! This is the worst I have ever smelled.

I have had 6 human children and changed a lot of diapers.. Breast fed and formula fed.. And this new stink! I can't believe he would go near that with his mouth!
