I'm not sure what brand Kathy is using - I bought Di-Methox from
Revival Pets. The mixing instructions suggested the Dyne or
Stat to cover the bitter taste. I think they also suggested a
fruit drink mix as an alternative.

The non flavored solution from KV. Comes in a gallon container and I seem
to remember something about adding it to puppies' drinking water. Not sure
how much per gallon of water or for how long. Here's why I was asking and my
thought was to keep it on hand to add to drinking water because.... I sent 3
chubby, happy puppies home at 8 weeks this past weekend. They had a health
cert from my vet and naturally, they all went for vet checks w/ their people.
One of the three, the vet is treating for coccidia. All 3 fecal checks were
negative for worms, but the one vet mentioned coccidia.. I spoke w/ one of MY
vets who said coccidia is found in all dog's guts and puppies develop an
immunity. Said in their practice, unless they see an unthrifty puppy and/or
watery stools they don't panic. Said it's really more of a problem w kittens
(????). She also said that's it's so common and because the stress of going
to
a new home can cause a flare up before a puppy's immunity if developed
against coccidia (six months she said), that some vets treat for it as a
matter
of routine, which seems to jive w/ the fact that only one vet is treating for
it of the three puppies who were vet checked at their new homes. I was just
thinking as a matter of course, in the future, maybe I should keep the non
flavored liquid on hand and add it to the puppies' drinking water after a
certain age?
The people who own the puppy being treated said their vet said it's common,
they aren't worried, etc., but I do live in the country, plenty of critters
etc., so I'm wondering if the albon in the drinking water should be part of
what I do.
Thanks in advance,
Kathy
