My dog has Coccidia, on Albon, and won't eat. When will he eat again?

Question

My dog has Coccidia and is on albon. He has no appetite so we have to open his mouth and put soft dog food in him so he can have something in his belly. He's now starting to poop. How long will it take for him to start wanting to eat by himself. Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 19 days old | 2.5 lbs

It is not typical for a puppy to totally lose their appetite from Coccidia, especially when you've already started treatment, and puppies can go downhill quickly if they won't eat or drink anything. I recommend calling your vet and letting them know if you can't entice him to eat even canned food. You can also try offering a little white rice and cooked chicken breast to see if that triggers his appetite. Depending on the diagnostics that were done initially your vet may have follow-up recommendations such as bloodwork or x-rays to make sure nothing else is going on. I hope this helps!
