Puppy Coccidia Treatments
Coccidia in puppies. My fault?
Approximately 3 1 / 2 weeks ago I put a puppy with a big family. The puppy came down with giardia after left my house. He confirmed his vet who scored after she went into her new home. The puppy went for a recheck this morning and the vet found coccidia. The puppy did not show any symptoms of coccidia, but was found during the examination. As I said, was in his new home for more than 3 weeks. I reproduce responsibly.

Had been wormed and was in progress on his vaccinations. My vet gave her a clean bill of health on the day before being resettled.
A puppy is not born with the coccidia organisms in his intestine. However, once born, the puppy is frequently exposed to feces of her mother, and if the mother is shedding the infective cysts in her feces, then the young animals will likely ingest them and coccidia will develop within the intestines of young animals. Since young puppies, usually those less than six months of age, have no immunity to coccidia, the organisms reproduce in great numbers and parasitize the intestines young animals. Often, this has severe effects. From the exposure to coccidia in feces to the onset of the disease is about 13 days. Most puppies who are ill from coccidia are, therefore, two weeks of age and older. Although most infections are the result of diffusion from the mother, this is not always case. Any infected puppy or kitten is contagious to other puppies or kittens.
