Face Swelling/Coccidia

Has anyone ever seen face swelling with Coccidia? Swelling looks similar to what you see with reaction to a bug bite/sting. Pup is 5 months old. Found cocci in another dog's stool in same household. Just never seen face swelling with coccidia??? Pup with face swelling also had dirrhea and vomitting, which responded to sulfa drugs, and swelling has also gone away.

Re: Face Swelling/Coccidia

I think system was compromised due to coccidia and something else also was going on which responded to the meds.

At 5 months maybe a tooth?

Re: Face Swelling/Coccidia

Strangles came to mind, but the pup responded to the meds, so probably a reaction to a spider bite, meds, or some other allergen.

Re: Face Swelling/Coccidia

Most likely unrelated.

Strangles

stranglesat 5 months? I would think reaction to a spider bite or infection somewhere on the face or an allergic reaction

Re: Face Swelling/Coccidia

Strangles can appear from 2 wks of age up to a little over a year. I don't think the two are related other than a compromised immune system. JMO and nothing more.
