Coccidiosis In Cats | VCA Animal Hospitals.

This article gives general information, including medication and prevention after infection by cleaning any area suspected of being compromised. Are you giving the cat any meds for it? I have often had it in rescued kittens and it was always treated successfully and cleared up.

i still havent seen the vet but on the results they just said bacteria(bacilli)+++
those 3 plus signs mean that the bacteria isnt something new i think a little advanced which is why im scared about bacilli
coccidia seems fine because i was able to get educated about it throughout some sites and videos

Bacteria is a general term, as is bacilli, which is why the vet needs to give you clarification.
