Advice needed from poop people! Loose fecal stools

The vet thinks Doughnut has coccidiosis and she is on Septrin for another 5 days.

The diarrhea has stopped but she still has a few wet fecal stools every day. Will these just disappear after her antibiotics are finished or should I be worrying. She has lots of normal fecal stools, it's just a few.

I have got a sample pot to give to the vets if it continues so they can test to see if it is coccidiosis. This will cost about £85 to get tested so I don't want to rush back if I don't need to. She's her normal self and her stomach isn't gurgling any more.
 
Bumping this up for you but perhaps could you tell us what she eats and is she drinking more than usual.
 
She's on mainly hay and an egg cup of pellets and that's it. She sometimes has a bit of dill or bramble leaves.

There were no splats this morning so hopefully she's turned a corner although last night her tummy was making a noise so I gave her some infracol.

I've ordered some vetcare digestion formula as she does eat quickly so gets gas, these apparently slow the eating time down and help with bloat.

I kow this is a separate issue though, it's because she's got coccidiosis, so just wondered when the splats should disappear altogether.

She's drinking fine.
 
No she's on science selective. It's not the cecal it's the fecal that's loose.

Thankfully for the last two days I haven't noticed any so hopefully now she's coming to the end of her meds she will be doing normal poops the whole time!
 
glad shes doing much better. Sounds like this should resolve itself maybe just provide 1/2 a egg cup of pellets a day if it continues and then increase in a few weeks
