Coccidia of the genus Cystoisospora cause mild to severe diarrhoea in dogs. The effects of toltrazuril treatment on cystoisosporosis were studied under experimental and field conditions. Twenty-four puppies were experimentally infected each with 4βΓβ104 oocysts of the Cystoisospora ohioensis group. Three groups of six puppies were treated 3βdpi with 10, 20 or 30βmg/kg body weight of toltrazuril suspension (5%); the remaining six puppies served as non-treated controls. Toltrazuril suspension or microgranulate were given once in a dose of 10 or 20βmg/kg body weight, respectively, to naturally infected puppies in conventional dog breeding facilities, depending on the coproscopical evidence of infection. Oocyst excretion and clinical data were recorded. Under experimental conditions, the non-treated puppies excreted oocysts beginning at 6βdpi and suffered from catarrhalic to haemorrhagic diarrhoea. On 12βdpi, four of six non-treated puppies died. Irrespective of the dose, toltrazuril treatment totally suppressed oocyst excretion and no diarrhoea or other signs of disease were observed in the treated groups. Natural Cystoisospora infections were regularly found during the 3rd or 4th week of age in dog breeding facilities although not always associated with diarrhoea. A single oral application of toltrazuril abrogated oocyst shedding and the treated puppies remained generally coproscopically negative during the following 2β4βweeks. Cystoisospora is pathogenic for puppies and can induce severe disease. Natural infections are common in conventional dog breeding facilities. Toltrazuril treatment is suitable for controlling cystoisosporosis under experimental and field conditions. A single oral treatment for puppies in the 3rd or 4th week of age is recommended.

The Toltrazuril dosage chart provided above outlines the recommended amounts for both prevention and treatment of coccidiosis in puppies. This medication plays a vital role in controlling parasitic infections by disrupting the lifecycle of coccidia.
A common guideline for Toltrazuril is approximately 20 mg per kilogram (9 mg per pound) of body weight. The exact dosage can vary based on the concentration of the Toltrazuril product used. Always refer to the specific product instructions or your veterinarianβs advice for the most accurate dosing information.
Accurate dosing is critical for the safety and efficacy of Toltrazuril treatment. Incorrect dosages can lead to ineffective treatment or adverse effects. Always adhere to the recommended dosage guidelines and consult your veterinarian for any concerns.
For the best outcomes in treating and preventing coccidiosis in puppies, use the Toltrazuril dosage chart provided above to guide your administration of the 5% liquid suspension. Remember, accurate dosing and veterinary guidance are crucial for your puppyβs health and recovery.
