I should have asked. How old are your dogs? I don't know how mature dogs are affected by coccidia or if they are. I thought you were talking about young puppies.
He is almost 3 years old, so not really a puppy. But he's a tiny little squirt, barely 3lb soaking wet.

I'm not taking any chances, if I see blood again tomorrow, off he goes to the vet!
