If pup is outside at all, it's most likely coccidia. Coccidia is in rabbit and bird poop and is prolific at this time of year. Pup can dehydrate quickly if left untreated. Get Ponazuril from vet (coccidia often does not show in stool test as it has to be at the right stage of infection to shed cells that show). You also can give horse Toltrazuril available horseprerace.com/toltrazuril/ Dosing is on this forum somewhere if you search for it. This is safe for pregnant bitches.

Liquid Albon is Dimethox which you can order online for the future see this for dosing. http://www.beaglesunlimited.com/beaglehealth_coccidiosis.htm I use this for puppies as we have lots of coccidia in rabbit waste on our large acreage.

I've found 90% of diarrhea here must be coccidia as it responds right away to either the toltrazuril or Dimethox.


If it doesn't respond right away, I give panacur which kills giardia, this is often in water and we have a pond and creek.

How do you feel about giving the 'Beagle' Mixture to a litter of 5 week old pups? I most certainly can see the savings. I don't need the high calorie part though - do you think mixing with something else would be fine? I would think so, sounds like I just need 5 ounces of any liquid to get the right dilution. I'm thinking liquid yogurt.

The main reason they mix with Dyne is it is bitter. I personally overdilute it in water and do give it to pups as young as 4 weeks. It works great. I like your liquid yogurt idea.

I use the Toltrazul also, but have had occasional vomiting with it, so now just use it mostly on pregnant bitches, if necessary. I've never had an issue with the DiMethox.
