| Canine Coccidia Coccidi outbreak in a puppy can be expensive and lethal. Adults are immune to it’s deadly effects, but can spread it. New dogs into the kennel are the prime carriers, even from the best of breeders. I EVERY KENNEL HAS COCCIDIA! 1 EGG DIVIDES INTO 10′S OF 1000′S OF COCCIDIA. IT SHEDS THE VIRUS TO all PUPPIES making them VERY ill. It lines the gut and ruptures cells in the gut and causes severe disease. A puppy will get runny stools, loose stamina due to anemia and possibly get pneumonia. DO NOT BUY a SCRAWNY SMALL PUP. It probaly survived or has coccidia and may have permanent damage. It’s growth may be stunted. You can’t get rid of coccidia in a kennel short of FIRE or Extreme STEAM. Ammonia cannot reach the places it can dwell (bleach can’t either) and is damaging to lungs. It is a very tough parasite. At 12 weeks of age dogs get a natural immunity to this parasite, Q: So there is no cure for coccidiosis? A: No there is no cure for coccidiosis. Once you see the signs of diarrhea the coccidia has done its damage and left the puppy, so all you are treating the puppy for is the symptoms of coccidia and giving antibiotics for bacterial infections. Q: Do puppies out-grow Coccidiosis? A: Yes, as puppies get past 10 to 12 weeks of age they develop a natural immunity to coccidia and do not show illness if exposed as a young puppy. STRESS can bring this problem on. COCCIDIA is BAD NEWS and can cause DEATH in young pups. AGE has NOTHING to do with it not effecting the pup. If you are sent a pup with it, they will GIVE IT to all your other dogs and cats. You will have HUGE vet bills. Getting a pup at 12 weeks is NO GUARANTEE you will not get it if the dog is not properly medicated against coccidia. ****Your vaccines will not work if the dog is infected.**** THIS HAS nothing TO DO WITH FILTH, like people think. It is a CONTAGIOUS parasite causing intestinal damage like parvo. Coccidia will quickly cause anemia and pneumonia and any secondary infections possible, quickly killing puppies. If you have coccidia symtoms consult with your vet. |
