Update On Cosmo He has coccidiosis and giardiasis. He has to take two pills a day and he should be fine. Thanks everyone for all your concern. |
Thank goodness you now know what it is and you can treat that little baby and watch him get better. Chachi got a littlse stressed when he was young like that and got diahrea so I know how scary it is. I am glad your little Cosmo will be back to himself in no time. |
Thank goodness it is treatable and he should be on the road to recovery - thanks for keeping us updated! |
The vet bill was $185.13 geez. atleast he is going to be better. He has to take a pill tiwce a day. |
Vet bills can get SO high. For Tia's first visit it was $150! Not fun, but at least he was able to get treated. |
So glad to hear that they were able to find out what was wrong with Cosmo! I hope it won't be long until he is over this. It's so sad when they are sick! Tell him Toto sends him big puppy kisses!! Thanks for updating us. We will still keep him in our prayers. |
I missed the original post. What are these virus thaht your baby has and the symptons? |
He had Giarda and Coccidiosis. He had runny watery poop and it had blood in it. Read the two posts called Scared!!:( and Question!! by me I think those will help too. |
I'm glad your baby is okay, i knew it could have been one or the other. i'm so glad he's good now! i know vet bills can be expensive - Oreo's brush with death costed me $400.00! and a week later another $300! so yes very expensive! |
Oh good! At least now this is something you can go by. And now he can get all better. Vet bills do get very pricey! But they are worth it. I dont know what I would do without my vet. |
Im glad that Cosmo is ok. He will get better soon with the treatment. I know how vet bills can be. Gucci had coccidiasis and ringworm when we got her. She saw the vet twice a week. So believe me i know vets are expensive. Gucci sent him puppy hugs and kisses. :getwellso |
Just so happy he will be OK.. |
I talked to the breeder and she said that she had kept him longer she would have had the vet bill and not me so there is not a lot she can do. We did not really have a contract and that was a bif mistake but she told me how she paid for someone elses dog that had kennel cough. i dunno what to do. |
Thank god... This can be treated and Cosmo will be fine. |
Glad Cosmo is ok. |
I am so glad he is ok. |
I am so glad to hear Cosmo is going to be ok. A while back it seemed a lot of puppies had that. The breeder doesn't seem like it is her problem, but if I remember right if one puppy has it in a litter they all probably do. Glad you caught it on time, before you know it Cosmo will be back to normal. I would tell anyone you know looking for a yorkie to stay away from that breeder. It's not like you have had him that long. Feel better Cosmo |
I'm praying for little Cosmo! Bo sends kisses!! |
All it takes is a little "stress" from a new environment for a puppy to develop coccidia. It is quite commmon. It is really not usually a "fault" thing as far as the breeder and, if you asked to get the puppy earlier than the breeder wanted to let him go, and, depending on how much you paid for the puppy, I think the breeder is probably right in asking you to bear this expense. Usually, most contracts only guarantee against genetic defects. Normal health issues are sometimes unavoidable and puppies can get sick with no apparent "cause" just because they are young and have undeveloped immune systems. I am so happy that he was able to be treated and will be fine. My daughter's puppy got coccidia 3 days after we brought him home and he was 10 weeks at the time. Unfortunately he was allergic to sulfa which is what albon is made of and is the common medication for treating coccidia. Luckily my breeder knew about Chorid which is used to treat cows and horses I think and this cured him in 5 days. We just need to be happy that our babies get better and live happy, healthy lives. |
Glad Cosmo was finally diagnosed & on his way to getting better. I'm sure it's not the way you wanted to spend your first weekend with him, but hopefully you will have some good bonding time nursing him back to health! My daughter had a vet bill with her chihuahua today for $325 - she just graduated & looking for a teaching position!! (I think mom & dad will have to help with this bill :rolleyes: ) Can't wait to see some pics of Cosmo! |
Hugs to Cosmo on each day feeling better. thank you for giving us all an update!! :p |
Thank you all for being so caring, i really appreciate, and thanks for the advice. On sunday I was so scared. Poor little guy, he hates his medicine. He has to take it for a week but then he will be all better. i am trying to get some good pictures, he just wont hold still lol. He is always moving and jumping on anything that moves beside him. Thanks Again |
I'm so glad to hear that he will be o.k. How did he get these, do you know? I hope you haven't already answered that, sorry if you did. Keeping him in my thoughts... :hug: |
Well the breeder told me that the mther did have worms, but she said the puppies were too young to treat. Which makes me angry becuase she never told me. He could not have gotten it with me becuse I noticed it the day after I got him. The day I got him was pretty much a car ride and then he came home and slept, he had no interaction with anyother pet. |
Well, I've never heard of those illnesses. Is it contageous? How did he get them? If you wanted to be a stickler, you could always contact AKC since she sold you an unhealthy pup. Well, I hope that he gets well soon! But the best medicine of all is LOTS OF LOVE! :wub: |

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 :confused: 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. |
I fgured he got it from the breeder, becuase he was around a lot of other yorkies. He was outside a lot too. He has not been outside since I got him, only to carry him to the car to go to the vet and back. I dont mind you posting it, Iam curious about this to because the breeder told me that if she kept him longer then she would ave had to pay the bill, hoever, she was the one that siad is saturday okay. Then she told me after I drove 3 1/2 hours that she could have probably kept him another month. I always told her in my e-mails the it was all about Cosmo's heath when i got him, I did not care as lng and he was healthy and rady to come to his new home. |
That's pretty scary the breeder did that KNOWING that Cosmo's mother had worms. I think it highly irresponsible to do that. |
I am so happy to hear Cosmo is on the road to recovery! Bless his little heart...and yours too! As far as giving him his pills...when I had to give Maddie hers, I bought some of those baby food chicken sticks and would just cut one small and take a toothpick to hollow it out and then press the pill inside. She took it every time (I'd watch to make sure the pill didn't fall out while she ate the "treat"). I have heard other members say they give their yorkies those for treats, so I gave it a try and it made her taking her pills much easier and less stressful! |
Staci, be thankfull you got him when you did, there has been members on here that lost there puppy to this, because the didn't find out in time. Cosmo sounds like he is on the road to recovering. He is lucky to have you as a mom, if you wouldn't have got him know telling how sick he would be. It would be interesting to know if any of her other dogs have it. |
