I am fostering a little 5 1/2 week old girl...Elsie. I noticed 3 clumps of diarheaa in her litter tray today and immediately dumped it...cleaned pan & replaced with new litter.

My gut instinct is yelling "Coccidia". Since she is a foster, I am able to get certain meds. directly from adoption/Humane Society. Would Albon be the correct medication to ask for asap?

She is eating normally & drinking her KMR from a saucer (no more bottle)...playing normally. I just don't like the look of her stool...it does have a strong odor to it.

I did wipe her down with some warm water and Dawn...her little paws were pretty stinky from trying to bury her stool in the litter pan.

Albon the answer?

Albon would be correct for Coccidia, but it could also be giardia or even just round worm. You could start her on the albon, but I would find out if the vet they use could run a fecal to be sure.

Thank-you. Will get my hands on some Albon first thing in the a.m. -- hope this little girl doesn't have a rough night
