coccidia???? in my new baby? Jukka has been home for 5 days with me and acts like a normal puppy..until today..he really hasnt had much of an appetite however he acts fine jumping running playing licking, etc.....well i was at a friends house and he was outside and he went poopy....well the first poopy was normal but then this yellowish mucus slimy stuff came out.....so i immediately came home and googled such a thing...well when i put it into google someone posted about something similar and it was called coccidia???? so then i research it and it seems like what it is...it says stress from new enivroment its a parasite and that he probably got it from his mothers feces. im taking him to the vet in the morning i guess its a rather mild thing but for my new baby im sooo scared..... Please tell me what you guys think?? and has this ever happened to anyone else? ***also per his puppy shot records he just had a fecal done on 2/8/10 and everything was fine Thanks :animal-pa |
Your vet will give you a product called Albon. He will want to check another poop sample in about two weeks. My pup had this too.:( |

It is pretty common and the vet can easily treat it. My Cali had it when I got her and after the Albon she was fine. Definitley take a poop sample to your vet tomorrow and they will be able to tell you pretty quickly what it is. Try not to worry! |
No it's not uncommon. It happens a lot especially with new puppies that go thru the stress of going to new homes - stress seems to bring it on. It is not always found in a fecal either.... As long as your baby gets treated, they should be fine. |
he just woke up from his nap and is nibbling and playful as usual...just want tomorrow to be here already...so i can get this situation behind us....fingers crossed And thanks everyone for putting me at ease....im so happy i found YT |
Jukka's fecal today came back Negative no parasites, so his weird poopy was called colitis from stress!!! PHEW!!! :animal-pa |
