Coccidia in puppies

My Pom is 3 months old and weighs 6 pounds. I am certain she has Coccidia.  My Weimaraner's had it and her stool looks like theirs did.  Of course, my Weims were much bigger a 3 mo than she is but I read the doses for Flagyl was 3mg-23mg/one pound of body weight. Can you tell me if this is right?

Sorry but we are not allowed to give dosing information because we are not doctors.  Please see your vet.  Blessings - Blu

I can't tell you the correct dose but would suggest taking in 2-3 stool samples to be tested fir a definite diagnosis before treating.  You have to watch the disposing on that medication.
