Description: What is the Canine Cryptosporidium (Cryptosporidium Canis)? The Cryptosporidium spp is a Nasty Type of Coccidia that is resistant to the traditional Coccidia medications, and it tends to kill puppies that are on Coccedia prevention protocol, but at the same time have created a void of no competition for Crypto to multiply. This is a viable theory in young animals. In the past, treating the regular Coccidia (Cystoisospora spp) in dogs used to be somewhat a particular routine, this type of Coccidia has been sulfa-responsive and easily managed, however, In the last few years, veterinarians have been seeing small Coccidia type, This new Coccidia type (Cryptosporidium spp) is so small that it is difficult to see under a microscope! Veterinarians thought this may be something new and pursued a diagnosis from a state lab. The labs determined that what they were seeing was Cryptosporidium. Cryptosporidium spp is from the Coccidia family, but it is not the same parasite and is not responsive and resistance to the regular Coccidia treatment protocol. Screening for infection: A routine fecal flotation test, as is recommended once or twice a year for most pets, is likely to miss Cryptosporidium as it is such a small organism. At the present time more specialized testing such as PCR testing for Cryptosporidium DNA or ELISA tests for Cryptosporidium proteins are the best way to go but these tests were developed to detect the Cryptosporidium species that infect humans so there may be some issues with sensitivity, however, the new Canine Crypto Ag rapid Test is a good diagnostic tool that can be used. Cryptosporidium parasite symptoms: . Violent, watery diarrhea . Weight loss . Loss of appetite . Extreme thirst .
