Show people/BYBer/Puppy. The parasite is there, laying dormant in a dam and not in all dams. The stress of a pup being taken from it's mother/littermates and moving to a new home may be all that is needed to bring it out. The one thing that one needs to know is that once the coccidiossis is in ones home, you never get rid of it. And it has nothing to do with cleanliness or filth....it's there.
