COCCIDIA - TARGET IS CHANGING


In the past, treating Coccidia in dogs used to be somewhat routine. This type of Coccidian has been sulfa-responsive and easily managed. In the last few years, veterinarians have been seeing small Coccidian. This Coccidian is so small that it is difficult to see under a microscope!

Cryptosporidium is from the Coccidia family, but it is not the same parasite!
