Pinworms and ??? Please Help

FreakedOutMama · Mar 26, 2016

Hello!
So I recently bought a microscope and did my first fecal float test of one of my dragons today. I can see some clear pinworm eggs (How many is too many?) In the portion of the slide I can see, there are maybe 3-5 pinworms. Is that enough to treat or should I leave it alone for now and just observe? As I was looking around, I also saw this blob? If you can walk me through how to post pictures, I took some. I have never seen this and it is not in the book I am using as reference.
Thank you
Alison

Hi Alison....to post pics you can use this info.:
https://www.beardeddragon.org/useruploads/
Then use the XIMG button. When you get the pics on, send a p.m to Drache613 [ Tracie is one of the mods. ] to see if she can identify the blob.

Is the dragon otherwise healthy weight, eating + acting normally ?

Hi Allison, did you ever figure out what the blob was? It's more important to treat your dragon according to the symptoms he or she is having...virulence,.a few pinworms are not really a problem, but then again it depends on if your dragon is having parasite related problems..some dragons can carry a pretty heavy load of parasites and be fine and some can have just a couple and have stinky runny poops and loss of appetite
