Hello, no these symptoms are not typical after finishing a course of treatment for coccidia. It's possible that Maverick has intestinal parasites such as roundworms that would not be treated with the coccidia medication. I would recommend having him seen sooner than Aug 11 if you're worried about him, or you could start by dropping off a fresh fecal sample for your vet to rule out other intestinal parasites and go from there. Hope this helps.
