I was a nervous wreck - never having a puppy before, I was ignorant of how common it is...we rushed her to ER that night and they knew exactly what it was! I called her breeder - who claimed no knowlege of coccidia - said she couldn't have gotten it there etc....the vet the next day said ALL her dogs probably had it. At that time - Chanel weighed in at 16 OZ's only...She is a healthy 9 (or so) pounder and loved so very much - I just can't see how her breeder could just have turned her back on helping her at that time! With our new baby - I didn't fool around - went right in with samples, records, and history of the mother and Cherish came out just perfect! |
Hi,
Thanks for the kind words but we dont seem to be out of the woods yet as Roxee has developed the same symptoms again. She goes back to the vet again on Monday and this time i'm going to insist that more is done that was done the first time. He gave her something called Albon c Synanthic but he only gave it to her for 5 days and from what i've read that wasnt nearly as long as vets normally treat a puppy for coccidia. so this time we're going to have a very long talk about what needs to be done as i'm not satisfied at this point. To be honest I'm about to the point of pitching a good ole fashion fit. If he doesnt do what i think needs to be done it will be time to find another vet that day. If all you very kind people will tell me if that's the medicine that is normal prescribed for coccida i would certainly appreciate it so much. Thanks again everyone for being so nice.
