The best thing to use is Toltrazuril (Baycox). It KILLS the coccidia. Albon does NOT kill it; it keeps it from reproducing until the puppy's immune system can handle it. With Toltrazuril, you trea for 3 days in a row. 1cc per 10 lbs (0.1cc per pound) orally. Very inexpensive, too. Barb Hively - PA DNA.

They have coccidian and I normally give Albon pills for that as soon as they show signs of it. They have loose stools, but are still eating and active, just don't want them to get any worse. I do my own fecals . called my vet who also takes care of my alpacas, and asked if I could use the liquid I use for them for coccidian. He told me to go ahead and give the following doses for five days: 4.4 mls per ten llbs the first day and then 2.2 mls for the next four days for ten pounds of weight. The liquid I want to use is Sulfadimethoxine in a concentration of 12.5 % and is equal to 3.75 g per fluid ounce. Have any of you used this and did it work? I can easily weigh my pups and have the syringes to measure it out exactly. Just want another opinion. -- Christiane Rudolf Tanglewood Farm Fayetteville, Ohio ===========================================================================POST is Copyrighted 2012.
