Hi folks! Blame it on El Ninio but there seems to have been an unusual amount of Coccidia cases this year, so for those of you not aware here is the information that I could find. PROTOZAN INFECTIONS Ferrets may suffer from various protozan infectious disorders, including coccidiosis, pneumocystic pnuemonia, cryptosporidosis, and giardia. COCCIDIOSIS intestinal invasion by three distinct species of the order Coccidia has been described in the ferret. The pathogenicity of coccidia in the ferret is unknown; it may be a self-limiting disease in otherwise healthy aninmals. In certain cases however, animals may develop diarrhea and tenesmus. Coccidia sp. in the ferret may produce a chronic carrier state so :( ****reinfection is a possibility.**** :( please feel free to e-mail me with any questions you may have: <[log in to unmask]> Mia Emery [Posted in FML issue 2463]
