Does this mean that they did find other worms, but can't treat her because of her size? You said the cat also had watery stool so he should be tested and treated too for Coccidia. If he does have it, he won't get better on his own without the meds and then it will cost a lot more in vet fees to fix him Also, if he does have it he will just pass it back to your chi. Besides if he doesn't have it, then I would call the breeder and tell her and make her responsible to pay for the test and meds, because that's where Baylie got it from and she needs to treat her dogs as well. Glad it wasn't worse. Just a pound.......so tiny!!!

She weighs one pound exsctly and she is 8 weeks old today. She got a semi good bill of health. They told me she is way to small and light to treat for worms so to just watch her but we did do a fecal test and she tested positive for Coccidia. Ugh. Dealt with this with our last dog. They gave me the meds and she should be okay. Her eyes and ears were great too. I feel a little uneasy about the worms but we just need to keep watch over her until she gets a little bigger. Does this sound normal or has anyone experienced this before? Just glad she is on the mend!!!
