COCCIDIA ---- This one we tried for ourselves and it works. Go to the vitamin section of your local pharmacy or retail store. Purchase a bottle of ACIDOPHILUS capsules. This is the natural Pectin like in apples. When you first start feeding puppies wet food, sprinkle about half of one of these capsules over the food. It replaces the "good bacteria" needed in the digestive tract to fight coccidia or diarhea. Do this for about 7 days or until you get a good firm stool. This is all natural, therefore you can not overdose. A bottle of 100 capsules costs about $4.
     I also read as article in "Los Chihuahua" magazine that stated if you would mix one capsule with 10 ccs of milk and feed one cc to each new-born puppy, the puppies would get a better start and you would not experience "fading puppy syndrom".

        Now we found something that even works when the Acidoophilus doesn't. DANNON'S "DAN-ACTIVE IMMUNITY liquid yogurt. This home remedy is nothing short of a miracle drug. Just put it into a small saucer and let them lap up as much as they want. It can even be administered with a syringe by mouth when they refuse to eat on their own. I have very good luck by adding a teaspoon to the formula I feed to newborns when they are orphaned. You will find it in the yogurt aisle. It looks like small plastic bottles of milk packaged in 4 packs or 8 packs. We use the vanilla flavor but have had success with the other flavors when we can not find vanilla.

PARVO---NEO-PAR VACCINE  If you will give all of your adult bitches this vaccine, you will no longer have parvo at all. We give it to our babies when they turn 8 weeks old and again at 11 weeks of age.

NO MILK---If your bitch has very little or no milk, you can help by feeding her yams. Yes, sweet potatoe yams right out of the can is a natural hormone. They boost milk production.
