    Who can I send a fecal sample too?

    I know one of the moderators or admins on here will do fecal samples but I was wondering who it was. My bearded dragon took another turn for the worse and my old vet closed and the only reptile vet in my area is refusing new patients. I just finished treating him with Flagyl and he was doing...

    I've figured out the mystery parasite its Balantidium coli but I need help with treatment

    After a dose of panacur, flagyl, three trips to the vet for blood work and fecals, and soon to be four I've finnaly figured out what my little guy has. I believe its called Balantidium coli I've been seeing it in the trophozoite stage when its moving around and active. You can see an example...

    Struggling with runny stools

    Do you know what I should be expecting if it comes back positive? Like treatments, how to know if there’s still quality of life, and lifespan? On one hand I’m gonna be sad my little buddy Duke isn’t gonna be around for as long as he should have been but I feel accepting of whatever challenges...

    Pros and Cons of large enclosures

    Pro: It’s so nice to have lots of space for decorations and for your bearded dragon to roam Con: He somehow managed to crap on 6 and a half bricks PLUS a hammock

    Struggling with runny stools

    The ambient temp is like 80ish on the cool side of his cage. It can be a little higher or a little lower. The vet said due to parasites lifecycles sometimes they don’t get picked up in a fecal and whenever he’s on anti-parasitic meds he seems to improve. Still runny poop but it’s digested well...

    Struggling with runny stools

    The vet responded and wants to put him on a general parasite medication and if that doesn’t help she wants a blood test for Adenovirus.

    Struggling with runny stools

    So this is his enclosure (the mesh top has holes so the light and UVB can get through) it’s 3ft by 4ft I believe and made out of Maple wood. The flooring is this rough plastic sheet almost like tile. (He looks really pissed off cause I woke him up in this pic) This is his most recent poop...

    Struggling with runny stools

    Sorry for the wait I didn’t have a good poop pic but I just got one. He fell asleep on his basking spot and just crapped in his sleep. He’s done that a few times before but never both together. I did feed him a two hornworms today so I wonder if the extra water made him go. He’s between one...

    If anyone has any idea what might be the issue or a recommendation for antibiotics or even a few questions to ask the vet it would be greatly appreciated!

    Struggling with runny stools

    He will bask for 8 or 10 hours. He is in a little bit of burmation I believe, cause he’s pretty lazy. I always have to lift him up and put him on his basking spot. Not that he can’t move he’s just a lazy little guy. He wakes up around 8 to 10 eats around noon to 3 pm depending on the day and his...

    Struggling with runny stools

    I measure them with a temp gun and double check every so often with one of those sensors that stick on the side of the tank and have a probe that goes down onto the basking spot (can’t think of their name for the life of me) I don’t keep it in the tank constantly cause my bearded dragon always...

    Struggling with runny stools

    I’ve been on here quite a few times and I’m still struggling with my bearded dragons runny stools. His poop is half watery and half semi solid partially digested greens and bugs. Mainly stuff that’s hard to digest like the skin of a bell pepper or the head of a cricket. I was finally able to...

    Multiple hard urates in bearded dragon burmation poop

    I’d love to do a fecal test at a vet but it’s $175 dollars cause I since I have an exotic I have to pay special fees and it’s a two month wait period before they could even see me. I live rural and either vets won’t touch reptiles or they charge ridiculous fees and dont even know what they’re...
