Aaaaaaarrrrrrrggghh!!!!

Oh......My......LORD!!!!!!!!

So, both my babies have had some recent problems with coccidia. I finally got it completely cleared up. We had two good weeks with healthy kitties. Then, three days ago, Cleo had runny stool. No blood, just runny. Today, Albert's doing the same thing.
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?!?!?!? *pulls hair out* I swear, this could drive me nuts.

There's not blood in the stools, so I'm not completely sure if it's coccidia again, but it's similar in every other way. Should we buy a new litter box? We have a Booda Dome right now, which is made of plastic....Cliff scrubbed it out with Lysol wipes today, but I'm not sure if that's good enough.
Truly, my new game plan is: New litter box and two prescriptions for coccidia (if that's what it is again). *sigh*
ANY advice???

You could still have worms, or they could just be reacting to what you're feeding them. I'd take them in to be sure. I've also heard that Lysol isn't great to use around cats...so you might also be looking at litterbox aversion if your kits don't like the Lysol. Next time, I'd wash it out with a bleach solution...4 ounces of bleach for every gallon of water.

Thanks. I think we're just going to ditch this litter box and start over. Our "wonderful" new vet doesn't bother to hand out an emergency number, so I'll have to see if the office is actually open tomorrow.

Good for you for noticing their early symptoms! Lysol can be toxic to cats. Ditching the entire box sounds to be a great plan! I wonder if you would consider seeing an alternate Vet? Please get well soon, Cleo and Albert!
