Awww, she is cute! I hope the time passes quickly for you so that you can bring her home.

My beardie never lost his appetite while he was taking Albon. How has yours been doing this week? You should give him Bene-Bac or Acidophiliz+ while he is taking the medication, and read the article by Denise R. Bushnell about supportive care during treatment for lots of good info. You can find...

I know what you mean. Between three dogs and the beardie, I should have gone to vet school! My beardie's last fecal was clear of coccidia, but still had some bacteria we had to treat with another round of Albon. He has been doing better. I hope things improve for your beardie soon. Coccidia...

They do both a fecal float and a smear for that price, and they do it in house. I trust this vet, and lost my first beardie after being treated by another vet, so I am scared to go anywhere else! But yes, I do think they charge too much. At least they don't make me bring my beardie and have to...

I wish mine would do that, but they always want a new sample. And they charge $54, not to mention the medication. I've spent over $300 in the last three months trying to get rid of parasites. That's one reason I cringe when people buy beardies thinking they are low maintenance, because they...

I did go ahead and treat 2 weeks ago. His stools are now sometimes formed, and sometimes still messy. Looks like I'll have to take another sample in and see where we stand. I really hate coccidia!!

Have you had a fecal done to check what kind of parasites and what the levels are? My beardie has been through 2 rounds of Albon for coccidia, and he didn't have any problems with it at all....never lost his appetite and did not get dehydrated, so not all beardies have trouble with it, if that...

Tracie, how much weight gain should I be looking for in a week's time? I know all dragons are different, but I would love to know what is average. Depending on what his stool looks like today, I may go ahead and start treating with Albon again tomorrow. I wish my vet would give me a discount...

He is eating like a champ...weighed in at 177 grams today. He still seems to be losing around 5-8 grams each time he poops, so he isn't maintaining all the weight he gains, which worries me. His stools are almost fully formed, but do still have a little bit of unformed part to them as well. I...

After moving my beardie to a new tank, his stools become very runny so I had a fecal done on 11/6, and the coccidia count was 2. They also found some clostidium and spirochetes, which I treated with panacur for three days. I decided not to treat for coccidia since the count was low....his count...

One dose every day for three days, and that was it; end of treatment. I forgot to mention the treatment for the pinworms was Panacur. My vet said when the level of coccidia is 2 or less, he doesn't treat unless the owner wants to, because treatment can be harsh on the beardie. After I...

I think all the vets treat differently. Mine gave me three doses of Albon, to be given daily for three days. It may depend on the levels they find when they do the fecal. My beardie was a 4 for coccidia, and after finishing treatment, the levels dropped to 2. He also had pinworms, and was given...

I talked to the vet's office, and they advised me to bring in a sample. I am happy to do it, but not so happy to pay the $57 for the third time. :wink: I think that is pretty expensive for a fecal, but I trust this vet, and that is the most important thing.

After my first beardie died in September, I now have a male juvie. I had him a couple of weeks before taking him and a stool sample to the vet. He had pinworms and coccida, and was treated for both. He did very well during the treatment; never lost his appetite at all. About a week later, his...

I am very sorry for you loss. Nox was precious. It hurts so much when they leave us. Big hugs to you!
