awww poor Tatum. But, at least you got her to the vet right away and she's on meds now. From what I've heard about coccidia, it clears up fast once they are on meds.

I hope Tatum feels better really soon! You're both in my thoughts and prayers!

Tatum has Coccidia

I took the sample in to the vet and he tested it and said that he did indeed find Coccidia, and that she has TONS of bacteria in her as well

He gave her a shot of Albon Oral-Suspension (which has a steroid in it) as well as a wormer pill (Panacur) just to be on the safe side (although he said that he did not see any signs of them, thank GOD, because that just grosses me out) and he also put her on Amoxi Drops which I have to give her every 12 hours, after meals. She is also on Pro-Pectalin which she has to be given 3 times a day

My poor baby

I just feel so AWFUL for her!!!

awe poor baby but at least you know what it is and can get rid of it

I hope your baby gets well soon.

Get well wishes to Tatum...Winston sends his woof!!!

I hope Tatum feels better soon. And I'm with everyone else about this being "good" news. At least with meds this will clear up. It could be worse. I know that's hard to hear when they are suffering, but with all the YTers praying for her, she will be back to her old self in no time! Kisses from Baby and me!

Get well soon wishes being sent for Tatum's speedy recovery.

Shelby&Seymour · 07-09-2007, 06:04 PM

Thank-goodness it is something that can be taken care of with a little TLC.

Hope that Tatum has a speedy recovery!

Ozzie'sperson · 07-09-2007, 06:16 PM

Aw mommy ... at least she has medicine to make her ALL better.

I know how hard it is to sit by when they are so clearly miserable, but really, all those meds should put her right. So glad it is something that can be treated and ideally cleared up pretty easily.

Get well soon little Tatum!!!

Brooke, I feel so sorry for Little Cutie Face Tatum....I'm so glad you took her. She'll get to feeling better soon. I don't know much about this...can Stedman catch it too?

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know how much you love your babies and I'm glad you now know what was wrong.

My hugs to all of you,
Denise

awwwwwww Poor baby Tatum........sending lots of hugs and kisses and get well wishes.......hope she feels better soon.........

babi1542 · 07-09-2007, 08:21 PM

I am glad to hear that it was nothing too serious. You will see that in no time, she will be better. Try to sleep and take good care of your baby.

Wrenee4 · 07-09-2007, 08:29 PM

Did they give you anything for your Stedman? Usually they will treat everyone in the household since they can catch it pretty easy....if it was me I would call them up tomorrow and ask if you should give him anything too. Good thing you were watching out for her!!
I think this thread is wonderful and really shows what to watch for. I have heard that coccidea is getting worse as the winters are getting less everywhere and isn't killing it off. So it's great that people are aware of it and although the photos isn't the nicest - it is a classic sign!

glad to hear you got a diagnosis and your baby will be on the mend soon.
How do they "get" coccidia???

Sam*my*YoRkie · 07-09-2007, 08:38 PM

It comes from fecals....a nice walk in the park and a little on the paw - lick it later and you've got it. Outside for a potty break and a bird flys over and leaves a deposit behind..walk through it or plain eat it you can get it. It is very common and very easy to get.
