Corid is not the only treatment.
Albon (Sulfamidethoxin) is also a very effective, popular and widely used drug to treat coccidia. It is also cheaper then corid, especially the generic products. It comes in a tablet form which is easier to give (imo) as well as liquid and is given for 3-5 days. There are also drugs like Baycox and Marquis which are not approved for dogs, but often used on dogs in a vaccine-like fashion to prevent infection. They are expensive, but well worth it if you are a breeder with a coccidia problem. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Healthy dogs usually develop a natural immunity to it at about 3-4 months so it doesn#%92t affect older dogs as much as it does young pups.
coccidia is one though bug, but it can be beaten.
