Default Coccidia confusion

Ok when I took home my baby from the breeder last Monday we went to the vet that Tuesday with a fecal sample. He told me my baby had a tapeworm and coccidia. Well doing research extensively on both, I'm getting a feeling she didnt have coccidia. She does have the tapeworm because I've seen the "rice" segments in her poo. But the coccidia just doesnt seem right. She didnt have any symptoms of it so I'm confused. I saw that she can get it from the stress of coming to a new home but can that really happen overnight. I got her Monday at 6pm and we went to the vet Tuesday at 3pm and the fecal sample was taken that night around midnight. Is it possible that she has coccidia, it just dont seem right. Any/all advice welcomed and thank you in advance
P.S.
I havent noticed any fleas on her and was told tapeworms come from fleas. Just confused
