Answer by  angie497 (40)

Ponazuril is a veterinary medication that can be prescribed for dogs, cats, and horses to treat coccidia. Coccidia are single-celled organisms that attack an animal's intestinal walls, and can cause life-threatening diarrhea. Some species of coccidia can also be spread to humans. Ponazuril works by actually killing the organisms, while traditional treatments just stop them from reproducing.
