No it is part of the deworming that they do. they treat with albon for Coccidia and panacur for giardia.
And NO absolutely not. There is NO way for a breeder to know, because unless the dogs are neglected and under stress, the adults will not show any symptoms and neither will the puppiesw unitl they are stressed.
So there can be no signs at all at the breeders facility. It is not fatal if it is caught and treated, it is just a bad situation for the new owner and most of them blame the breeder. But when the puppy left the breederes home it was healthy.
I am not unsypmpathetic to the new owners. I imagine it is a terrible way to start out. But in most cases if you bought from a reputable breeder it truly is not their fault. sometimes Sh** happens and no one is to blame.
This could kill a breeders dogs also so no one will leave it untreated.
