    Coccidia Treatment in NZ

    Today is his last day of reptaid treatment, so will get a fecal done next week. But while hopefully that problem has been solved, something else troubling has come up. In the last few days I've noticed his eyes have become very watery, and he has been doing bulgey eyes quite often and will try...

    Coccidia Treatment in NZ

    Awesome, thanks for that. Good to know it tastes great for us too, haha! Unlike the soy yogurt... though sid seems to like it. I took everything out of his cage yesterday and then when I put him back in he have me the most guilt-tripping look ever. I felt terrible and gave him his hut back..

    Coccidia Treatment in NZ

    In case you were interested, here is an update on sid: his panacur treatment has finished and a week after that I got another fecal done, his pin worms are completely gone but his coccidia is still the same. I have ordered 2 bottles of reptaid, which should arrive in the next 6-10 days. What do...

    Coccidia Treatment in NZ

    Thank you guys so much for all this information, it has helped immensely, as there really aren't many reptile specialists here in New Zealand (none that I have found, but I'm sure they're out there), even the "reptile specialist" at my vet that Sid sees is only such because she used to keep...

    Coccidia Treatment in NZ

    Yeah I did read that coccidia levels can be affected by pinworms, so will have him re-tested after the pinworm treatment before I do anything further for the coccidia (aside from the yogurt, which I assume is harmless?) I don't think my vet would have tested his hydration level, she didn't...

    Coccidia Treatment in NZ

    Indeed they are not! Any drugs can always have side effects, and so wouldn't give them to him if I didn't think it necessary. The drug prescribed is Panacur. Thanks :)

    Coccidia Treatment in NZ

    Cheers Mungi! That's awesome to know. I am definitely working on getting some reptaid as I've heard/read nothing but good things, but unfortunately way over here, it's going to take a little while, so might just use your suggestion of soy yogurt for the mean time. The parasite report had...

    Coccidia Treatment in NZ

    Okay cool, yeah well as I said, he very rarely poos in his cage, only outside or in a bath, and when he does I clean it up straight away. I keep his enclosure very clean and although he chooses not to eat all that much, I provide him with a good diet. I suspect he has had the virus since before...

    Coccidia Treatment in NZ

    Oh okay, well it's probably worth doing the whole set of treatments before I get another fecal exam done I guess? The treatment I gave him finished a month ago, but still have a heap of the medicine (panacur) left, would you suggest just doing 2 more or start over and do the whole 3 sets of 3...

    Oh yeah, that's what I meant by a heat lamp, I know not to use lights at night :) Thanks!

    Coccidia Treatment in NZ

    Okay awesome, yeah I've emailed the reptaid guy and he said there's been no trouble with customs to any other country, so will order some of that to have on hand and try the yogurt in the mean time :) Keeping his temps up at night means another heat lamp though I suppose... -sigh- haha, oh well...

    Coccidia Treatment in NZ

    Oh awesome, yeah I'll see if I can order it online maybe, just not sure about what happens with customs etc cause I believe it contains fruit products... the soy yogurt thing is good, I'll try giving him a wee but of that. It's not a severe case I don't think, didn't notice much in terms of loss...

    Coccidia Treatment in NZ

    In December last year, my dragon Sid had a fecal examination and was diagnosed with both pinworms and medium to high case of coccidia. My vet prescribed a de-worming medication for the pinworms which I gave him (as directed) for 3 days. But she told me there is no medication available for...

    Digging and twitching

    Still with the muscle twitching, but his temps are good, he's eating well, pooping fine etc. But also just now as he was sleeping on me he did some big twitches of his arm and waved his other arm, and twitched the base of his tail a few times. He was fast asleep, so thought it might be case of...
