My kitten has bloody diarrhea and sneezes. Could it be coccidia?

Question

iv had my ragdoll kitten fot 9 days. day 2 i noticed she was having mild diarrhoea and next day i noticed there was small amount of blood in it. She had been wormed from breeder but i bought worming tablets from pet store and did her worming again. She had a check up, vet said to keep an eye on her. She seems healthy and happy and eats and drinks well but she sneezes a lot but has no problems with her eyes. But she still has blood in her mild diarrohea. Could this be coccidia? Pet's info: Cat | Ragdoll | Female | unspayed | 3 months and 2 days old | 2 lbs

Since Nala is continuing to have diarrhea with blood, I would be concerned. I would recommend bringing her in to see your vet so a fecal analysis can be performed. Coccidia can often be seen on a fecal exam. There is always a possibility that this could be what is causing the problem, as well as other intestinal parasites. if she does have coccidia, she will need a different medication in the typical dewormer.
