I am resurrecting this post because I am still having issues with my bearded dragon's digestion. I have not seen a single 'well-formed' poop in months. It is always diarrhea. In that time frame, I have had her tested for parasites twice and both times received a call from the vet saying that...

I agree, it is difficult, but oftentimes it is shaped even while in the water. I've come to recognize the difference because most times I see her go. It was definitely a very, err, gross cloud.

She pooped in her bath today and it wasn't formed at all. It was a lot of diarrhea, actually. I will say she is no longer passing undigested squash, though... but there are bits of carrots. She was glass surfing a bit today before I went to work-- she does that sometimes and I usually take her...

Today she had a salad of carrots, squash, and endive. Right now she's hanging out on her hammock. No poop... but I dread to see what it'll be. The undigested poop only started when I began feeding her more vegetables instead a mixture of greens. Before she just had collard greens, endive...

Ok, so I tested something else. I put something underneath that basking rock to see what the surface temperature was at a height closer to the basking light. It read at 100 - 102 degrees. Before this, she was even slightly higher than that. Could it be that she was too hot maybe? Or could it...

Here's a picture of her, herself... up close. I just took this of her and she seems content. Other than this issue, she seems perfectly healthy to me. Bright eyes, always alert, has a fantastic appetite. She eats all her food almost every day. https://imgur.com/a/oafnn EDIT: Just saw your...

Ok, so I'm home now. I moved her hammock over to the cooler side of her tank. Before that, it was directly underneath that basking bulb. I honestly think it was too close, but maybe I was wrong. Here's what confuses me: now she's basking on her rock with her mouth open, which I know that's how...

Thank you so much for the detailed response. I will address as many points as I can remember from your post. First off, there is no plastic separating the UVB at all and it is a Reptisun 10.0 fluorescent bulb. I cannot provide a picture right now, but I will when I get home. Her last fecal test...

Hello, I've come to this forum once before because my bearded dragon, Echo, had an infestation of coccidia and pinworms. That was about a year or so now. She was given a clear bill of health-- but her feces has not changed in consistency for that entire time, albeit very briefly during...

I weighed her. She's 413g. What would be the dosage of Baycox?

UPDATE: She's had a second fecal done and now she's come back with pinworms too. Ugh, this is so frustrating. On the up-side, they said her coccidia level has gone down considerably and both parasites are considered 'few' in terms of amount. They want to treat her with Albon and do a one-time...

UPDATE: She has another full week on medication. The Sulfatrim hasn't effected her system at all-- in fact she seems much hungrier than before she was put on it. I'm feeling pretty positive towards the next fecal exam. Her poop has become much healthier looking. GRAPHIC: Here's a comparison to...

Update on Echo. It's her eighth dose of Sulfa-trim today and she's doing spectacularly well! It's not having any lasting effect on her system as she gobbles down her collards every day, even after the actual administering of the medication stresses her out. Same amount of gusto for her crickets...

It's been day 3 now and she's had her third dose. Still has a voracious appetite, gobbling down crickets like mad. The steam cleaner came today, but I'm slightly concerned. Should I be able to touch the glass the moment after the steam hits it? It doesn't seem very hot. Still, I've removed all...

UPDATE: Things are going pretty well so far. She's had her second dose now, and the moment I put her back in her enclosure she went straight for her salad... so I guess the actual administering of the medicine isn't stressing her out too bad. I'm giving her two baths a day to keep her hydrated...

Trust me, I am very worried about this treatment. It is extremely difficult to find reptile vets where I live, as I am in New Hampshire, but I found one that has worked with exotic animals a great deal. I know others have brought their dragons to him before. Here is a link to his credentials...

I did look at the link you provided and fully intend to use it if the prescribed medicine does too much harm to her system. Thank you so much! I brought her in yesterday and she was completely healthy other than the high level of coccidia. They prescribed her Sulfatrim Pediatric every day for 3...

I did forget to mention the one symptom she has: consistent, runny, mushy stool. The other day she passed just urate. I cannot say for how long this has been going on because normally I soak her in a bath and she goes to the bathroom; everytime she's done this it looks normal. Her greens are...

My bearded dragon, Echo, who is roughly a year old now has been diagnosed with a high coccidia count and is going to the veterinarian today to get a prescription. I called them earlier and what they told me is that they intend to put her on TMZ/Flagyl. I've read from a few websites that this...
