Thanks for your response!
He is 2lbs...I have heard mixed things about Pepto...Our Vet...who I'm beginning to wonder about...says its bad to give b/c it has aspirin in it? But I have used it for our 3 year old yorkie as needed, at the recommendation of his breeder, and never had any problems!
I wasn't planning on switching antibiotics now...but I really don't want to take a 3 week trial and error approach either...so I'm just wondering which antibiotic is the best line of treatment in case we need to retreat after the Albon is finished. I don't want to put him on another week of Albon if its not the best option! The Vet has already insinuated that Coccidia is hard to get rid of and that he will probably need several more weeks of treatment after this!
