Sounds suspicious for coccidia to me as well. Jolene had it when we first got her and it was "hit and miss" for a while. She was treated for colitis for the longest and never got any better. Coccidia will flare when stressed, ie a trip to the vet, travelling, shots, change in food/environment and by keeping a record of what we did and what her poop response was, we took her in after a stressful situation and she was infected. he vet said she probably had it for quite sometime and no one picked up on it. She had so many fecals to rule out parasites and it just wasn't caught, probably becasue it wasn't there at that particular time. She was treated for two weeks, and knock on wood, she hasn't had even a soft stool since!! She eats Innova EVO and now Innova canned. Before I couldn't feed her anything different for fear of an attack, but now she eats ANYTHING. Good luck with his treatment, I know how frustrating it can be.
