BOOKMARK> I will UPDATE.
Print off and give to your vet if he won't give you a
prescription.
I have used Marquis 4 years on over 400 puppies.
I am NOT a veterinarian, just an experienced dog breeder.
I do not know about any other animal.
We have a LARGE
DIRECTORY of TOPICS and Suggest you visit there next.
I would appreciate you
RECOMMENDING my kennel
GLORY RIDGE in exchange for the information I post on my site.

FACTS
EVERY KENNEL HAS COCCIDIA!
1 EGG DIVIDES INTO 10'S OF 1000'S OF COCCIDIA. IT SHEDS THE VIRUS TO all
PUPPIES.
Immature form lines the gut and ruptures cells in gut and causes severe disease.
Just as you vaccinate for PARVO and
DISTEMPER (which is back in the USA with a VENGEANCE)
you MUST PREVENT COCCIDIA or NONE of your vaccines will work!
Your pups will be SMALL, loose stamina due to anemia and get pneumonia.
You can't get rid of coccidia in a
kennel. It is a very tough parasite. But these pups will NOT get coccidia if
you give this religiously. At 12 weeks dogs get natural immunity to this
parasite, so there is NO need to use it over 12 weeks. It will NOT KILL
coccidia if they have it and it is showing itself in symptom. You HAVE to
PREVENT the growth in their system until the build natural immunity.
COMMON QUESTIONS/ VET ANSWERS
|
Q: I've been battling bloody stools in my 13 week old puppies for weeks, we have treated them with all the regularly prescribed antibiotics. Nothing has been found in the stools I've taken to my vet. |
|
Dr. Page: You need a complete physical of your puppies, and a fecal sample taken in the clinic office. A single sample does not necessarily tell you anything, you may have to test several puppies on several different days to find the problem from samples taken in the office. You might try panacur at 1cc per 4 1/2# body weight for 3 days, and repeat in one week. Give Tribrissen or Primor daily for 14 days as per their suggested dosage. |
|
Q: So there is no cure for coccidiosis? |
|
Dr. Page: No there is no cure for coccidiosis. Once you see the signs of diarrhea the coccidia has done its damage and left the puppy, so all you are treating the puppy for is the symptoms of coccidia and giving antibiotics for bacterial infections. |
|
Q: Do puppies out-grow Coccidiosis? |
|
Dr. Page: Yes, as puppies get past 10 to 12 weeks of age they develop a natural immunity to coccidia and do not show illness if exposed as a young puppy. |
NOTE FROM KAREN ON COCCIDIA
Our dogs are
guaranteed against coccidia (stress diarrhea) because we medicate for
prevention.
STRESS causes this problem and it can be TOTALLY PREVENTED IF YOU medicate for
it.
COCCIDIA is DEADLY and can cause DEATH in young pups.
It is expensive to treat. ($180 a tube) BUT saving ONE pup recoups the cost.
AGE has NOTHING to do with it not effecting the pup. If you are sent a pup with
it, they will GIVE IT to all your other dogs and cats. You will have HUGE vet
bills. ONLY STEAM, fire or ammonia will kill it.
Ammonia is dangerous to lungs, as with bleach.
OXINE is a GOOD, SAFE disinfectant, but will not get rid of coccidia 100%.
Getting a pup at 12 weeks is NO GUARANTEE you will not get it if the dog is not
properly medicated against coccidia.
****Your vaccines will not work if the dog is
infected.****
COCCIDIA HAS nothing TO DO WITH FILTH, like some vets will tell people.
It is a
CONTAGIOUS parasite causing
intestinal damage like parvo.
COCCIDIOSIS
PREVENTION:
SULFADIMETHOXINE
12.5 TO 25 MG/lb DAILY FOR 28 DAYS
DOGS HATE THE TASTE AND DO NOT WILLINGLY DRINK THE STUFF.
or
Albon Suspension (Rx)
1cc per 2-4 LBS Daily
EXPENSIVE AND TIME CONSUMING, but dogs don't mind the taste.
Albon will kill coccidia,
but it must be given 28 days: 10 on, 8 off, 10 on.
You have to use ALBON to KILL coccidia once the PUPPY has signs of it. Adults
can overcome it with a few days of Albon.
MARQUIS WILL NOT WORK ONCE SYMPTOMS of coccidia MANIFEST.
or
Albon 12 1/2% Solution
1cc per 5-10 LBS Daily
.5-10 cc (1/2 tsp) per gallon drinking water.
DOGS HATE THE TASTE AND DO
NOT WILLINGLY DRINK THE STUFF.
THE BEST TREATMENT:
MARQUIS
("Mar-Key")
This is an Equine
product (paste) for protozoa.
Many USDA and other Kennels are using it for dogs, successfully.
Marquis is a paste that is very expensive, but does many litters.
MARQUIS will NOT KILL coccidia if
they have an outbreak and it is showing itself in symptoms.
IT PREVENTS the coccidia growth in puppies system until they build natural
immunity at around 12 weeks.
I have found pups are bigger and stronger since giving this Rx.
Runts survive 9 out of 10 times if no internal defect. I HIGHLY recommend this
Rx.
REMEMBER:
Marquis
will NOT kill full blown
coccidia, only PREVENT it from an outbreak.
Coccidia has a 28 day life span as a parasite.
Marquis works 21 out of 28 days. It is no good for e-coli infections.
You must kill e-coli with
antibiotics .
NOTE: DO NOT USE ALBON and MARQUIS together.
If you gave ALBON today, DO NOT give Marquis today.
If you need to give ALBON for Coccidia, it is TOO LATE
to use MARQUIS. Continue the Albon as prescribed.
This information is
taken from notes and experience of a nationally know veterinarian who is deep
into care and research of canine disease's, and my own experience for over 5
years using this drug.
The Manufacturer's of MARQUIS take NO responsibility for this information due to
incomplete FDA testing regulations.
It is NOT USDA approved for canine. Breeders have been using it in Europe for a
longer time than US Breeders.
MARQUIS DOSAGE:
Small Breed puppies up to 10 weeks of age:
Mix 1 part paste to 3 parts distilled water and give 1cc
per 2.5-3.5 lbs
Give Day 4, then 2,4,6,8 and 10 weeks of age by mouth.
Under 8 weeks
Larger Breeds give 1cc straight paste per 15 lbs of puppy
Give Day 4, then 2,4,6,8 and 10 weeks of age by mouth.
Over 10 weeks old give
1cc per 10lbs week 11, week 13 and week 15
Coccidia is a very tough parasite, but these pups will NOT get coccidia if you
give this religiously.
Coccidia will quickly cause anemia and pneumonia and any
secondary infections possible, quickly killing puppies.
If you have
coccidia and are treating with ALBON, they also need an
antibiotic such as Clavomox.
DO NOT GIVE CORID. CORID IS TOXIC AT WRONG DOSAGE.
PARASITE CONTROL
Worm with PYRAN 50 EVERY WEEK starting at week one until weaned
1cc per 10lbs
Waiting 2 weeks can KILL a PUP from HOOKS.
Hook larva are in Mom's milk! They are released from muscles of stressed moms.
THEN
Be Sure to use PANACUR OR STONGID T
at weaning for 3 days and repeat in 2 weeks to kill GIARDIA 100%.
Flagyl can cause LIVER DAMAGE. I do NOT use it.
EXTERNAL PARASITE PREVENTION:
Use Ivomectin POUR_ON (oil based) EVERY 14 days.
Apply to skin down back.
Start at 2-3 weeks. WILL NOT KILL whip worms.
Large Dogs use 1cc per 14-22 lbs down back ON SKIN.
Small Dogs: 1 part Ivomectin to 1 part 70% alcohol then 1cc per 7-11 lbs
Puppies: 1 part Ivomectin to 5 parts 70% rubbing alcohol
does 6 drops per pound of puppy on back skin
or 3/10 cc per lb.
Give RABIES according to State law.
HEART WORM PREVENTION FORMULA:
You MUST TEST for heart worm BEFORE you give
Ivermectin to a dog or
you will KILL it if it HAS ADULT heartworms.
IVOMECTIN will KILL HERDING DOGS ALSO with or without heartworm.
2/10TH CC IVERMECTIN 1 % + 30 CC PYRAN 50
DOSE: 1CC PER 20 LBS by MOUTH EVERY 30 DAYS
If a dog has heartworm and a misquote bites it and goes and bites another dog,
it WILL pass
the heartworms. TEST and MEDICATE ALL YOUR DOGS.
