Hello everyone!
As of recently I noticed my beardie had some pretty foul poops and I took a fecal sample to work yesterday (I'm a vet tech). The sample came back positive for pinworms and coccidia, both in the highest range according to the lab we utilize. Anyhow, I need to begin treatment but unfortunately I work at a small animal vet where they are clueless as to reptile dosages/treatments. I've read that Panacur is typical for pinworms and albon for coccidia. I need help with deciding a mode of treatment as well as amounts and dosing instructions. I plan on purchasing a gram scale today to see how much my big guy weighs. In the mean time I really just need to know how to calculate a dose and which treatment to use. I've also read much about probiotics, is soy yogurt sufficient or should I order a supplement?
Thank you!
Paula
