Input Welcome - Regarding Coccidia

[ElleArranda]

The nutshell version:

• My female T. jacksonii jacksonii was diagnosed with coccidia when gravid. No treatment was given until after the babies were born, as the medicine's effect on the fetuses was unknown.
• Five DAYS later, she had 14 babies. (10/18/2022)
• Today, she is treated and clear.
• I set aside six babies and gave them full treatment of Ponazuril. They are having no ill effects from the treatment.
• The UNTREATED babies have had four fecal tests, and all four came out negative for coccidia (and clean of all else).
• Today, all 14 babies are alive, eating, drinking, soaking up UV, and (obviously) pooping.

Question:
Should I give all of the babies Ponazuril before going to new homes? Is Ponazuril's unknown effect on babies a greater risk than coccidia, given four negative fecals? How should I proceed?

Note:
The same story applies to my T. j. xantholophus but I have less official data on them.

I have had babies that were born to infected mothers. I separated them at birth and none ever developed coccidia. I practiced strict isolation. If they have clean fecals and they aren't showing symptoms then the risk out weighs the reward.
