Cry Cocidosis or Giardia

What is it and how do puppies get it?

I wash all the utinsels and rinse them well using clorox.
The female is bathed at least a couple of times a week and I clean her
nipples and rear area sometimes several times a day.Yet I had a puppy to get Cocidosis and it spread to the whole litter of 3 puppies. One died and the other 2 were on medication for a good while after they were sold.
The vet offered little information on this other than to keep the animals clean and their area clean.

Now for future litters what can I do to make sure this dosn't happen again.. What am I missing, what didn't I do that could have prevented this??What am I looking for? I have raised Yorkies several years now and this is a first and it was soooo un-nerving.
