Well, I have a lot to say in this post. First of all, I got my beardie's new
UVB bulb in the mail yesterday because his old one came with the zilla desert fixture and after reading information on this site I realized the only
UVB bulb perfect for beardies was the reptisun 10.0. Today, his appetite was a lot better (lately he'd seemed to only want crickets, no veggies) and his colors are brighter. Hopefully the better UVB will help him fight the diseases.
EDIT: To better explain, I knew the reptisun 10.0 was the best, but thought he could use the zilla for the normal 6 months. After about five, I was looking for a new one, and after research, discovered he needed the 10.0.
Second, I got some probiotic cricket dust from the vet that I have been giving him once a day with his last meal.
Third, I got a new prescription of just panicure (trying to knock out giardia because it's the worst disease he has) and the prescription is over now, but his poop has firmed up from smelly diahrrea to pretty normal.
Last, the diluted bleach solution kills giardia according to what I've read on this site, so throughout the treatment period I cleaned his tank with the bleach solution and changed newspaper daily. Hopefully it's gone now, soon I'll send in a poop sample to the vet and find out. If not, I'll probably have to clean the tank out literally every day he's on medication. If the giardia is gone, then I can deal with his coccidia, which is high but nowhere near as bad as his levels of giardia.
