cochsidia So the vet just called and said that Gizmo has cochsidia...they only left a message, so i havent talked to them yet...does anyone know what this is? I know a parasite but thats about it |
Here is a link that explains about coccidia. http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body_coccidia.html |
Here's the link to another thread about this. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=73306 |
Coccidia is treatable with antibotics. Hope your baby gets to feeling better. Make sure you push the fluids and watch her diet. Good luck!! |
yeah sorry i did a search, but had the spelling wrong. I;ve found 2 spellings now, ?? |
It is mispelled on here often dont worry about it |
yeah thanks, coccidia! Got it. So were going to get his meds in half an hour, ill post here once hes done how hes doing...but honestly he seems perfectly fine, eating, drinking...content with his toys, but MAN his poop is smelly and its a bit soft...so maybe thats where well see the difference! Thanks all! Wish us luck, poor lil Gizmo! |
Yes the smelly poop is common. It is a good sign that he is eating normally. |
My little one had it and made a full recovery. Just try to practice good hygiene with the feces and I had mine retested after treatment just to make sure we had rid her of the parasite. |
I am so glad your little one is on the road to recovery. |
At least you know what's wrong with Mr. Gizmo now. He's on the road to recovery now. Good luck!:) |
I'm sorry your puppy is sick but it sounds like just the beginning stages of coccidia - you were smart to get him in so quick .....with the right medicine he should feel much better in a day or so and all the best to you |
Sorry your little baby is sicky :( I don't know much about what he has but I hope he feels better soon :) |
That is great that he is still eating..alot of dogs won't with coccidia and that imposes a HUGE problem...so glad you found it so soon and he is being treated....the meds will definetly help with the smelly poo poo..I totally relate to that..it is rough!!! |
Thanks all again for the well wishes...hes only had his first dose, but he still seems fine! Glad we caught it early, i would hate to see him not eating, etc...it was bad enough having a sleepy dog after his rabies/booster shot. Ill update once his medication is done and we get his sample tested again! |
