coccidia???? in my new baby? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

JukkasMommy · 03-07-2010, 03:50 PM

Jukka has been home for 5 days with me and acts like a normal puppy..until today..he really hasnt had much of an appetite however he acts fine jumping running playing licking, etc.....well i was at a friends house and he was outside and he went poopy....well the first poopy was normal but then this yellowish mucus slimy stuff came out.....so i immediately came home and googled such a thing...well when i put it into google someone posted about something similar and it was called coccidia????

so then i research it and it seems like what it is...it says stress from new enivroment its a parasite and that he probably got it from his mothers feces. im taking him to the vet in the morning i guess its a rather mild thing but for my new baby im sooo scared.....

Please tell me what you guys think?? and has this ever happened to anyone else?

***also per his puppy shot records he just had a fecal done on 2/8/10 and everything was fine

Thanks

Your vet will give you a product called Albon. He will want to check another poop sample in about two weeks. My pup had this too.

So this is not uncommon? and just to get an idea of the costs? how much was this antibotic..the more i read abt it the more its makin since that he probably has this.....which im thankful and relieved its just something little compared to worse scenarios

It is pretty common and the vet can easily treat it. My Cali had it when I got her and after the Albon she was fine. Definitley take a poop sample to your vet tomorrow and they will be able to tell you pretty quickly what it is. Try not to worry!

No it's not uncommon. It happens a lot especially with new puppies that go thru the stress of going to new homes - stress seems to bring it on. It is not always found in a fecal either....
As long as your baby gets treated, they should be fine.
