Coccidia-Coccidia in Dogs
Coccidia is a protozoa passed through the stool. An infected dog will eliminate the feces containing the organism into the environment, where it can survive for up to one year. Once the parasite is consumed by your dog, the oocysts (immature coccidia) found in the stool will make their way to the digestive tract, enter the intestinal lining cells, and reproduce.
