Beardie has been on sulfatrim for what feels like forever.
He started in October for very high coccidia. Measured again November, December, and now. Count has decreased significantly since the last one (from 16000 to 2000).
Vet wants to go another 3 weeks and asked if I think he could tolerate that, I said yes. Not sure if it's a horrible coincidence in timing but yesterday and today his appetite is way down (but not gone) and he's incredibly lethargic.
At what point should I worry beyond him just temporarily feeling crappy? My main worry is avoiding putting him in a life threatening position, or something that can't be reversed. If he was approaching that I'd rather give him some relief from the medication and fight coccidia again later.
He's still eating an ok sized meal once a day.
He's still pooping on average once every one and a half days. They've also been very dry last two days so I'm upping amount of water I'm giving him via syringe.
Probiotics daily (also via syringe.. I'm now essentially using more water in the mix).
Housing etc already verified as ok (T5, 38-40c basking spot, etc).
