Stress plays a role in the development of coccidiosis and it is not uncommon for a seemingly healthy puppy to arrive at his new home and develop diarrhea several days later. This is usually diagnosed as coccidia. If the puppy has been at the new home for less than thirteen days, then he probably had coccidia before he arrived. If the puppy has been with his new owner several weeks, then the exposure to coccidia most likely occurred after the animal arrived due stress of new enviroment.
Supporting the animal, using "oral nosodes" will help strengthen the system against re-infection in the future.
Present relief: use in conjunction (if needed) with Slippery Elm powder mixture given orally to quickly stop diarrhea in puppies or adult dogs.

If the animal has been with his new owner several weeks, then the exposure to coccidia most likely occurred after the animal arrived at the new home.
