Question concerning coccido..

I am aware it is common in any stress related situation. I have also had a puppy die from it,

HELLO TYKE-----you stated it was "A VERY simple,easily treated parasite!!!"

What should I have done...Please don't blast me. This is a very real concern for me. I often ship my puppies and any help will be appreciated and used.

Well if you didnt know, you will now.

Coccidoiosis multiplys qiuckly, while (Like Tyke said, and I would not take his advice) the symtoms may be mild and often times unnoticed it can grow into highly virulent infections that are sometimes fatal. (I assume this is what happened to your puppy.)

It can be stress related (I.E. weather change, plane ride, new home or etc.) And i see that you do ship/fly your puppies.

Death may follow the acute disease either directly or from secondary diseases such as pneumonia, so shipping may worsen the cond.

Here are the steps you should take ASAP! Especially if you still have other puppies:

1. Separate the sick from the healthy

2. Treat sick animals with effective medications. (Will tell you later)

3. Medicate all the dogs in the kennel or home, as the other animals are likely infected too. (Make sure you do this.)

*Albon庐, Bactrovet庐, or Tribrissen庐 are a few meds you should use for treatments.

I assume you wish to keep it away and get rid of it all now so here is what you should do:
