I just received a puppy with coccidia (Almost seven days ago) and she has had diaherra since her arrival. How do you clean the areas on rugs and wood floors to insure that the parasites are not still alive?

 

Paula, what a great and smart question! Coccidia do not live very long in the environment so that is a plus. You can simply wash the area with soap and water or use a dilute bleach solution (1:32). Make sure to wash your hands carefully and not to track anything on your clothing, towels, or shoes! Good luck!
