Boy, I am stumped!! How awful for your baby! I would be really careful to make sure she is getting a ton of fluids in her every day. Pedialite for babies is good. It has electrolites in it. I would be so scared of dehydration... Obviously you are taking really good care of her already, or she would not be playing and in such great spirits. Good luck!!! Let us know how things go!

| Keep us updated on what you find out about Snickers. I am worried about her. That is just way too long to have diahrea. Really watch her for dehydration and give her pedialyte.

| I would take her to another vet. Is there a specialist in your area? I think even though she is acting fine otherwise there is something going on with your baby and more extensive testing needs to be done. Please keep us posted.

| When my Joey was about 12 weeks old and weighed 1 lb 14 ozs. he had Coccidia too! I was so worried about the diarrhea and then the bloody diarrhea, sometimes it was clear with blood, he was soo tiny. My Vet put Joey on Sulfadimethoxine Oral Solution Gal. The dosage was 1/2 cc the first day and then 1/4 cc once a day for 30 days. He also had Joey on the bland ID food. Within a week the diarrhea was better, no blood. It still took another few days, but it worked. I continued giving the medicine for the 30 days like I was instructed and we have had no more problems. Joey will be 2 years old in July. Didn't know what meds yours has been on, but I know this worked for us.
