Stress will cause a puppy to have diarrhea....and certainly, an 8 week old baby, who is really too young to be removed from momma/siblings, will more than likely suffer from stress, to say the least, trying to adjust to a new home with his momma/siblings, etc. Stress causes babies to "break" with coccidiosis, producing diarrhea gastro enteritis and Albon will certainly help keep this from happening. Not alot of breeders do this, but if the baby develops diarrhea and has to go to the vet, this is usually what the vet will prescribe for you to give. She is trying to keep you from having to deal with a bout of diarrhea, while keeping the baby from suffering from a common condition. |
