| Keep you chin up! Your poor little one. I did a bit of reading and this seems helpful: http://www.peteducation.com/article....&articleid=739 It describes good hygiene methods for animals/humans to prevent infection. I would ask your vet about your yard regarding preventing future infections, since your dog must elimate there. Good luck I hope your little one can be cured! In humans it can be cured quite easily but can make children quite sick, and is problematic for those who are pregnant. http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dpd/parasi....htm#treatment Just work with your vet, and I'm sure things will work out!

| Amber, When I talked to my Vet & found out Piper had this intestinal disease, I was so upset also. Now I look at it as if she had a bad case of the flu. Misha never got this, so I'm not worried now. I didn't know they were a carrier for life, that means even if it isn't showing signs, or in the stool it could show up at a later time. Or pass it on to the pups if it's a female. After reading, it makes sense. I wouldn't worry to much about it. If you did deside to breed her in the future, just treat the pups. Maybe daisy got it from her mother, maybe that's why the breeder didn't know. Her mother carried it on to her pups. That's probably how Piper got it, since she was the only one sick. Hang in there, it will turn out alright. It turned out ok here.

| Oh my goodness Amber I am sooooooo sorry to hear that about you new baby, I read that you did contact the breeder but did she give you some type of health contract? I'm just sorry that you paid sooo much for this little pup and just to find out days later that it has something and now that adds more vets bills. Hang in there I don't know nothing about what Daisy has but I do hope it gets better.......Will say a prayer for ya'll tonight!! If you need someone to talk to feel free to PM me.

| When I got my second yorkie she was infected with coccidia. I had never even heard of it. It was just too difficult to keep her isolated from our other yorkie and beagle so I just practiced good hygiene and gave her her medicine religiously. Then when the medicine was done as a precaution I had all three dog's feces tested and no one else had contracted it. I think the thought that bodies carry things for life can just alarm us mentally when actually we are carriers of many things for life that never harm us again like for example chicken pox. Just be glad with treatment it can be managed and not be serious. The breeder I purchased my yorkie from actually informed me of the condition at the time of sale and I still chose to purchase her because I was not afraid of the condition after a little studying. |

| Glad... I'm glad to be of help! I know this isn't a nice situation for you, but most likely things will go back to normal. This is quite a common parasite and most vets are able to deal with it. Sorry I haven't had first hand experience, but I'm sure other YT'ers have. Hang-in-there!

| Just to chime in with my experience...Cooper had it too when I got him...only could tell from the poop sample, no diarrhea or anything like that. We had him on treatment and we have never seen it again, no flare ups here. He tested negative for it fairly quickly too. So it seems really bad at first, but really it's not THAT bad. Our vet told us they can get it from streams or puddles of water or creeks, so never let them drink from these water sources. It will get better
