My husband and I brought home our new puppy this past weekend and we noticed that her stool was very runny and mucousy. We took her for her first vet visit and booster shot and discovered that she is infected with coccidia. the vet treated her with a dose of ponazuril, and sent her home with a second dose to be given this morning.

Her stools are now almost water consistency and have turned white. I realize that ponazuril is a white medication, but I'm not sure whether that would explain this. It's been 24 hours and two doses later and her stool is worse.

Her activity level is normal, she's eating and drinking normally. Do I need to give her more time, or should I be taking her back to the vet? Any and all opinions/experiences appreciated.

How old is the puppy?

She is a couple days short of 10 weeks old

Abalon is what I've heard is used to treat the parasite. I thought my pupy might have the same thing. I tried diet change first to rule thst out before vet. She had watery diarrhea forlike five days a week, then green and mucousy one time. But i changed her food to blue buffalo puppy and she evened out immediately. Her nexg movement was normal and healthy. Still gonna take her to vet this weekend, but she has had multiple healthy movements. I don't know if the same medicine for coccidia is good for giardia, but was told without the more expensive fecal float couldn't tell fof sure.
