I have no advice,but you certainly have been through more than your share.(((HUGS))) to all of you.

oh, gag, I've "had" coccidia, although in kittens rather than pups;
it's the grossest thing in the universe.

don't know about the other stuff, but
I'm holding you & "girls" in my thoughts & in my heart.

Ask your vet for ponazuril instead of albon for the coccidia. Ponazuril actually kills coccidia, unlike albon (albendazole) which is only a coccidiastat (inhibits growth). Most coccidia we have been seeing is very resistant to albon now, but we've been permanently curing dogs and cats of coccidia with ponazuril. If your vet is unfamiliar with this medication s/he can get the info from me. Ponazuril is actually a medication for horses used to treat ECM. I also use it on rabbits for E. cunniculi.

Thanks for the support. It has just been one of those days around here. All three of the girls are on the albon so I will talk to the Vet tomorrow about switching it to the ponazuril. Tomorrow will be a better day, I hope.

you have SO much on your plate! my female corgi used to be plagued with bouts of coccidia a couple of times a year, it was awful! hope you get some good test results and everything returns to normal (whatever THAT is!) very soon!!

Meghane, is ponazuril also known as Marquis Paste? I thought it also only suppressed cocidia - but good to know it is actually killing it. Thank you for the info

MP is the drug of choice for coccidia in our rescue ...In facts, it is often part of the protocol for kittens with diarrhea - deworm and give MP first thing.

Yes, Marquis paste is the brand name ponazuril. We get ponazuril compounded at a veterinary pharmacy into a liquid.
