Why could my puppy get Coccidia or Giardia?
As much as we try to keep our puppies comfortable and happy, a large contributor to some of the common ailments, including Coccidia and Giardia, is STRESS. The puppies might not show it outwardly, but inside them is where the stress takes its toll. The Coccidia and Giardia organisms are always present in the intestinal tract as part of the natural flora of all animals. Under stress, these organisms will multiply to an abnormal level and can result in abnormal stools. If caught and dealt with promptly, these ailments are easily treated with no ongoing harm to the puppy.
