He must have picked up at his breeders or on a walk etc. I am just glad I was paranoid and kept on top of him otherwise it could have ended badly had I not noticed something was wrong before his body was to damaged.

According to wikipedia "Coccidiosis is the disease caused by coccidian infection. Coccidiosis is a parasitic disease of the intestinal tract of animals, caused by coccidian protozoa. The disease spreads from one animal to another by contact with infected feces, or ingestion of infected tissue. Diarrhea, which may become bloody in severe cases, is the primary symptom. Most animals infected with coccidia are asymptomatic; however, young or immuno-compromised animals may suffer severe symptoms, including death."

Thank you, to everyone for giving great advise and just listening to my worries.

good thing you worried.. best wishes...
