Animal Smiley 019 Coccidia - What to Expect?

I just bought a baby Yorkie last Thursday (born 04-01-07) and she's been diagnosed with Coccidia. I've been giving her Albon for 6 days now. She's 1.7lbs. Yesterday was bloody/mucous and today pretty much water. What more should I expect?

I'm so broken hearted by her lack of...anything. She won't eat, she won't walk, except to go in the grass to poop (water), and I have to feed her baby food/Karo with a syringe.

She also had a low sugar attack last Friday night and was VERY bad off by the time I got her to the vet the next morning. They had to give her two shots of Dextrose in two hours. Vet felt so bad for me (I was a totoal blubbering idiot) that he took her home with him for the weekend! I'm now giving her NutriCal throughout the day because she won't eat anything. I've tried baby food, dog food(s), french fry, burger patty from McDonalds...nothing! She'll sniff but turn her head away. Is her tummy upset from the Coccidia?

It just seems she's going downhill and I don't know what to do! I'm fixing to go to the store to buy Pedialyte, however, she does drink water when I take her outside but after reading about Coccidia, I'm afraid it is/will dehydrate her.

I just need some advice from others who have gone through this too because I have always had big dogs and have a 3yr old Cocker Spaniel and I've never had this kind of problems with a new puppy!
