    Once you have done the bleaching and gotten all the med on board for your infected b, I would take all the dogs stool samples down to make sure one isn't keeping worms and then repassing them on. That is what I would do.

    We bleached the yard yesterday and I bleach after everytime they go poo. Noticed this morning that my sister's golden retriever has diarrhea. I guess I'll be taking their stool samples in. She has a separate vet across town… should I take hers there or just stick with my own close by?


  • Well, I would go to the vet who knows your dogs "worm" history.


  • Cara had coccidia when we got her, but I have read research that it is killed more easily with ammonia than bleach so that's what I used–- pick up, pour ammonia over area. Neither Connor nor Arwen got it. But since you weren't doing it before, do take in stool samples of the other dogs to avoid them continuing to pass it around. A dog can have it with limited effect and still be passing it in stools to recontaminate your pup.
