Can coccidia be spread help I had brought a new puppy 9 weeks old into the house. I had taken the pup to the vet and the stool was positive for coccidia. I treated the pup with albon. I have read were the dog could reinfect itself it if eats contaminated feces even if it had been on the albon. If you give the albon for 9 days, and the follow up feces does not test positive for coccidia, should you wait at least 13 days before doing another fecal exam to make sure the pup is cleared of the coccidia.
I am very concerned because I have a female who just whelped her puppies and we are keeping the dogs apart in the house and they eat and sleep in completely different rooms. The pup is being trained with pee pads and dog littler in a different room. My female has not been in close contact to the pup.
Everyone has washed hands and even went so far to change their clothes before going around the newborns.
I just want to make sure everyone stays healthy. |
