She has been to the Vet 3 times in the last 2 months but was also vomiting, she is not doing it this time. Thought it was because I introduced her to one teas. of Innova EVO canned 3 days ago.
This explains what coccidia is:

There are many things that can cause diarrhea and if you are changing her diet a lot or adding new things to it then that could be the cause. Young puppies are more likely to get coccidia and it would have to be diagnosed by your vet checking a stool sample and it is not always easy to detect in a stool sample. From what I have heard about the canned Innova Evo I think you would be much better off finding a food that is not so high in protein. All it takes is one bite to mess up their digestive system. I would give her a teaspoon of plain canned pumpkin twice a day and if the diarrhea continues I would get her to the vet again.
