[QUOTE=LuvMySissy;1169469]I sure hope little Hunter starts feeling better really soon. Coccidia is usually easily treatable. Giardia can be a real bugger to get rid of and may take more than one round of meds. Make sure you disinfect everything he has come in contact with using a 10% bleach solution (all toys, clothes & blankets, carrier and bedding should be machine washed with detergent and bleach - toys can then air dry, clean sleeping area, floors - everything you can think of). Make sure all areas are fully dry before you let him walk on them again.
Giardia can cause anorexia as well, so entice him to keep eating with whatever is necessary. I would recommend starting yogurt in the morning as well (about a tsp). I use Stoneyfield Organic (either plain or vanilla, whole fat or low fat). This will help keep his tummy healthy and is just simply good for him. If you buy a brand other than Stoneyfield, make sure there are LIVE cultures in it and no artificial sweeteners of any kind!!!
Some very useful information...I hope I never have to deal with anything like this, but it is nice to know there are some very knowledgable people here to get advise from. Thanks to you!!!
You might also want to seriously think about using baby wipes every time he goes potty on his bum and wipe his feet anytime he comes in from being outside as well.
