To further back up our assumptions based on our own findings, there was one study of pathogen - related diarrhea 1 that showed 68 % of tested
shelter dogs with diarrhea were positive for giardia and 15 % for coccidia.
By formulating and implementing these specific intake and management procedures, Dr. Hanek estimates around 85 % of all
diarrhea in
shelter dogs and cats can be dealt
with successfully and inexpensively.
