  Blossom was doing so well we moved him to one of our larger cages but he started to lose weight again. I checked his poop yesterday and found he still has some coccidia despite over a month of treatment. It can sometimes be very stubborn to clear. So he'll be having another course of medication to make sure it's all gone for good.

  We've finally beaten Blossom's cocci and he's gaining weight nicely. Today he moved out to the aviary so we hope he'll be released soon.
