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 coccidia in New Zealand. I've looked it up and it sounds like the medications aren't actually so great for them anyway and I might be better off just keeping his enclosure super clean and giving him probiotics (Acidophiliz+ is what I've seen recommended) but unfortunately I haven't been able to get that here either..
My question here is, does anyone know where I can get anything that might help in New Zealand? Or does anyone have any suggestions of other things I can do to help with it or any readily-available products I might be able to use that I'm more likely to find in lil' old NZ?
(am getting another fecal done tomorrow and will get results next week to see if he is rid of pinworms)
If anyone can help with this, that would be hugely appreciated!
