http://yorkiepassion.com/teacupyorkies.htm then go to heath issues. She is member of the site that breeds and has some great info. She gives a definition of it: COCCIDIOSIS
A diarrhea disease caused by a species of coccidia commonly
found in the feces of puppies, and occasionally, adult dogs.
Coccidia are not worms; they are microscopic parasites
which live within cells of the intestinal lining. Because they
live in the intestinal tract and commonly cause diarrhea,
they are often confused with worms. Hope she doesn't mine me posting this
If Cosmo wasn't around other dog than he must have got it from his breeder. Maybe some of the breeders could help with how they get it. Glad he is doing better.
