Well, Arthur was diagnosed with coccidia on Monday. The vet put her on Album for 10 days.
I've been doing research and see that steam kills the pest. I'm wanting to confirm this as I'm not sure about using ammonia. I'm too scared the ammonia fumes will hurt her or am I way off base? I've never cleaned with it. Ive taken everything out of her viv except for her rock and water pool.
I've bought a steamer and steamed the viv last night as well as her rock. I keep reading the steam has to be 165 to kill it. I've been trying to read the temps with my temp gun but you know its hard to have a temp gun near all that humidity! I'm hoping it's getting not enough! From what I've read, I need to bake her rock? And do I need to do it every day?
I plan on steaming the viv every night while she's soaking in a bath so she can hydrate. I also bought some of the Acidophiliz+ and should be getting it any day in the mail. I should start her on that immediately, right?
Please share any advice y'all have had in dealing with nasty little thing!! I want to knock it out the first time!! Thanks soooooooo much!!
