Content: Coccidia is extremely treatable with the use of sulfa-based drugs, which are the most commonly used coccidiostats. According to "Applied Pharmacology for Veterinary Technicians," sulfa drugs do not kill the coccidia organisms but instead inhibit their regeneration and allow the dog's own immune system to rid the body of the microorganisms in a span of one to three weeks.

Albon
Albon is the brand name for sulfadimethoxine. It is an antibiotic manufactured by Pfizer's Animal Health division. Despite being an antibiotic, it is one of the most highly used drugs in the treatment of coccidiosis. Albon is an oral medication. The dose depends on the dog's age, weight and the severity of infection. Encourage animals taking Albon to drink extra water to prevent possible side effects associated with the drug. Common side effects include dry eye and crystal formation in the dog's urine. See a veterinarian if your dog experiences less common side effects, including pale gums, lethargy, anemia, fever, anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea, arthritis and allergic reactions.
