Both were totally clear 2 weeks later.

I've heard of many here feeding canned pumpkin for diarrhea and stomach distress. Have you tried that?

You are doing everything right, especially cleaning, and it's good he uses pee pads cause cleaning carpet is very hard.

Good luck.
Thanks for the tips...I gave him pumpkin...but the little bugger has decided he is not fond of it ! He will eat a tiny bit if I put it on my finger...but only about an 1/8 tsp!

I wanted to treat Zeus proactively just to be safe but my vet said they wouldn't do it without a fecal and appointment on him first...which is scheduled for next Friday...their 1st available ! So for now I am just crazy ammonia cleanup lady!

I feel like either I am taking Coccidia too seriously or the Vet isn't taking it serious enough! I know I am a neurotic overprotective momma but I have educated myself on the issue and I really feel like my concern is justified.
