Coxsackie virus maybe? Take your dog to the vet for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Hello

I agree with J 9 there , though it also sound like Coccidia .

Coccidiosis is a parasitic type of infection, caused by the coccidium, that most commonly causes watery, mucus-based diarrhea in dogs. If it is not treated, over time it can cause damage to the lining of the dog's intestinal tract. With treatment, the prognosis is good.

Anyway I suggest taking your Dog to a vet who can diagnosis what your dog has by taking Blood Test or even Urine and Stool tests.

Diagnosing online is not a good idea. Google is not always your friend, especially when it comes to diagnosing. I once googled how to get rid of a simple cold, and within 20 minutes I was convinced I was dying of some rare cancer and only had hours to live. Never a good idea. ;)

It's best to take your dog to the vet. Having said that, I know that that's not always a financial option. Vets are bloody expensive! But, most vets will offer a payment plan if it's an emergency, or something that costs a lot to treat. Not so much for the normal stuff like shots, or spaying and neutering, but if it's a medical emergency, most vets will offer a payment plan.

Call your vet and find out. Good luck. I hope the pup is okay.

You are presenting your situation all backwards - you tell us all about the dog and all about the symptoms FIRST. You don't guess at a diagnosis and ask us how to find out if your dog has it!

Toxicity, Coccidiosis, coxsackie? So many things that are similar to what you posted. The spelling, when it comes to diagnosing, is really important. And, as Joy said, so are the symptoms. The symptoms are much more important than the Google diagnosis you decided on, which should have give you the proper spelling.
