    Treated coccidia, treating pinworms, recurrent diarrhea

    We are relatively new owners of a 4 month old bearded dragon. Wellness check a month ago revealed coccidia and pinworms. Stool was malodorous at that time. We treated with the appropriate medicaiton, two doses spaced 2 days apart for coccidia, and have given two doses of the pinworm...

    Is my bearded dragon ok?

    So my bearded dragon has been acting a bit different lately. She's been pooping every day for like 4 days now which I don't think is normal and she doesn't want to eat. she's also been very energized and is constantly clawing at her cage for the whole day. I thought it could be parasites since...

    coccidia woes - to dilute or not to dilute ammonia?

    My 1.5-year-old bearded dragon is currently undergoing treatment for coccidia. In the meantime I'd like to use ammonia to kill the coccidia in the tank, but I'm seeing conflicting information about whether to dilute the ammonia. Let me lay out why I'm conflicted: Online sources say coccidia...

    Looking for Advice on Preventing Parasites

    My beardie is about a year old, and suddenly he has quite significantly slowed down his eating and basking. My local shop told me to give him pumpkin and dust his food once a month with NatureZone Worm Guard. Or at least, I presume they meant Worm Guard. The bottle they showed me was labeled...

    Pooping all the time (small)/digging? Help!

    Hello! Carol (7 years old) was just given a clean bill of health a week ago at the vet — though without fecal test. I rescued her & this was her first visit, & she finally got her talons trimmed! It took her a few days to realize she could move comfortably but now she’s ZOOMING. However, over...

    Sick or Parasites?

    Hello everyone! Chase is looking a little skinny. For about a week now he doesn't seem to be eating. He has never wanted veggies except once I took him outside and he ate some clovers (won't eat a veggie put in his enclosure at all). He used to pounce on crickets and dubias but now seems...

    Wipe Out for Coccidia?

    Hi - just curious if anyone knows whether the WipeOut cleaner by Zoo Med is effective against coccidia oocytes? My 3 month old beardie is alert, friendly, and gaining weight like CRAZY, and I want to keep him that way! I clean his enclosure when he poops 3x a day but sometimes he steps in it and...

    Very sick dragon

    I purchased my first bearded dragon, Chica, in April when she was about 3 months old. I decided to get her off Craigslist which now that I look back on might have been a big mistake. She grew, shed, and ate normally but she seemed to never want to walk around her tank. At first I just thought...

    Little Red Worms with homebred crickets

    Ok so.... the crickets like to reproduce sometimes in my Gecko’s tank. I decided to “harvest” the little guys and put them into my cricket feeder with some of the old coconut bedding. They get fresh food everyday and I mist the enclosure so maybe they will be comfortable enough to lay eggs... I...

    Mail-in fecal testing

    Hey there. I adopted an adult female dragon back in November. She’s a great little girl, but lately hasn’t been eating much. I’d like to have her tested for parasites but our vet is more than an hour away. I’d rather not subject her to the car ride if I don’t have to. Anyone ever tried one of...
