Hi,
I have a question about my 5 month old juvenile, Elliot. He was found to have roundworms after a fecal test about a month ago and received a dose of Panacur(sp?). About a week ago, he started having very watery poops (not full diarrhea), got lethargic and had a small prolapse that went back in immediately with a sugar bath. I just took him to a new vet (the previous one had given bad advice on feeding) concerned that maybe the roundworm infection hadn't cleared. The fecal showed no roundworms or coccidia. The vet said it was bacterial gastritis and gave him Cipro 25mg/ml 0.1ml every other day for 14 days. Elliot got the 1st dose at the vet's office. No blood work was done. Since that dose, his urates have turned pink and chalky (no more watery poop). I read how rough Cipro can be on their kidneys. Should I continue to give him the Cipro? Could I give him Probiotics/soy yogurt to balance out his gut instead? I don't want to screw up and ruin his kidneys.
The temps in his viv are 105 for basking and 80 on the cool side. Here are pictures of him and his viv. The UVB is an Acadia T5 12% 1 week old. There's a CHE for at night. He is eating well.
