Hey all! I'm a lurker here but I've created an account because I have a question for you that I hope you can answer!
So I recently bought the stuff needed to do a fecal float on my little dude, Tiberius. He's 14 inches long and weighs in on average at 150g. He's had stress marks for a while and only seems to eat about 3-5 dubias per sitting so I decided to take a look.
Turns out, he most definitely has pinworms, but there is another parasite ova that I'm seeing in there that I'm not 100% sure isn't coccidia. I was hoping that someone here might be able to look at the two pictures I got of two different ova that are in question and be able to tell me what they think it is.
Fortunately, I've only ever been able to find only about 2-4 of these ova per-slide that I've done. I've done about 3 or 4 floats on him in the last few weeks.
At this point I've got him on panacur. (his first dose was last night) and I'm supplementing with Acidophil+. I've removed everything from his cage, chucked the wood decor, and gave the slate and stone stuff a bleach bath with hot hot water for over 30 minutes.
Any advice is appreciated! Thanks!
