(For WORMING<, EAR MITES, etc) AND, initially Ivomec was ALSO developed for use in swines!   I feel, if this new drug  sounds promising, all options discussed with a vet and dosage  "modified:, that it definitely is an option worth looking into...   Coccidia has become so resistant to the normal course of treatments available, taking it's toll on the poor animal that is suffering w/ NO relief! Personally, I feel treating for WEEKS, with repeated fecals, vet visits, etc. is frustrating, not to mention costly. It also adds "undo" stress on the cat who is already in a debilitated condition.   MANY veterinary drugs have their "initial" testing done on bovine & larger species, prob cause they are easier "test subjects" and are readily in demand...   After fighting w/ coccidia TOO many times w/ rescues, I, for one would be interested in learning more about Baycox.
