 adults
Yes, that is true about adults. They can show coccidia in the stool checks, but show no symtoms their entire life..unless they have a compromised immune system...but they can pass it to other dogs in the kennel, young ones and their litters...these are the ones who show symtoms and become ill. Treat the adults and rid it from their intestials and you will get litters free of it also. You also want to prevent them from being around chickens, birds and other fowls stool. Sandy Lemire wrote a very great chapter in her book about this..she raised exotic chickens and could not get rid of coccidia in her Yorkies for a period of time.
