I would not expect them to live forever or guarantee that future pups would need treated but it's possible. Especially since it can live in the environment a long time and is quite common in the environment. Ponazuril (the last time i checked) was cost-prohibitive to use in pets but may be a good alternative for kennels and shelters.

At the shelter where I spend LOTS of time, we use ponazuril. We give 2 doses, 24 hours apart, and that's it.<br /><br />http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&A=2832&S=2cdturner1https://www.blogger.com/profile/02991789475771496887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1264392333565933559.post-38442622878638267332013-01-17T11:48:08.529-06:002013-01-17T11:48:08.529-06:00Ok Coccidia is one I'm def familiar with, havi...Ok Coccidia is one I'm def familiar with, having had puppies come to me with it. I notice some breeders, like people I know who have one one or two litters ever never have any Coccidia and I've noticed anyone with several litters a year or mo seems their litters all have it. So that makes sense because of the infectious nature. When my Breeze came to me,I paid a lot of money and had never done that with a dog ...but she had giardia and Coccidia grrrr. Anyway my vet said that we would treat it but if she ever had puppies they would get it too. Of course she was never going to be bred, but does that mean it stays in the system after being treated maybe at a very low level?
