The bad thing about coccidia and giardia is that they do not always show up in a routine stool sample. Often it is not until the puppy/dog has an outbreak of diarrhea that is can be detected in a stool sample. I am sure you know that but others might not be aware of it. Any time a puppy has loose stools or mucousy stools they should be taken to the vet asap.
