Hmm, you have great advice already here for sanitizing her area, but the only way she's going to be reinfected is if she gets particles from her poop in her mouth. Of course this is possible with a bed or pee pad, so those things should definatly be cleaned in hot water and a bleach.

If she's getting reinfected, it's much more likely it's happening outside. How often does she go outside? Coccidia can live in soil and if she puts her face to the ground and gets some of the infected soil in her mouth, she can get it that way. I'm no help as far as treating your yard, but maybe a tractor supply store or home depot can help with that.

You're vet is definatly right that coccidia is hard to detect, so don't trust a negative stool test. Have they considered another possible cause of the loose stools though?
