parasites

I recently rescued a bearded dragon a few months ago as my first reptile. I was told I was getting a healthy beardie with the entire setup for relatively cheap. When I picked him up he was motionless and they said he's just lazy but he moves around during the day. He was in a very loud and...

Hi, The bearded dragon i rescued a month and something ago is getting treated for an entamoeba. Hes on 0.25ML of Metronidazole and weighted at 244grams with his first dose but he has grown since then in width and length. We just sent in his poop in today for another test since hes done his six...

This may be long since I want to give a history of my boy. To start, I took my boy to the vet today (7/23/24) due to an episode he had on Saturday, three days previously. I say episode because I have no idea what happened. If I can attach videos I’ll put a video of his episode, but essentially...

Mochi was abandoned at a pet store with a worm problem (or so we where told) which he was treated for, and put up for sale. We decided to give him a new home in Feb of this year. Always eating with ferocity as a baby/young adult, and until about 3 weeks ago he began slowing down his eating. Now...

Hey so Xion stopped eating two days ago and won't leave her cave, she sleeps through the day (though sometimes she opens her eyes and gives me the stink eye) and I'm worried she's brumating. She's only 9 months old and her tank is nice and warm, but most concerningly she's currently being...

I'm concerned about the appearance and odor of my beardie feces. I'm uncertain if her stool appears normal or if it may indicate a potential parasite issue. She looks healthy and has a good appetite, activity level, and stable weight, but the shape and smell of her feces worries me. Tank is in...

So Xion has pinworms and her substrate is a sand/soil mix. Should I clear out her tank and just go with paper towels until it clears up? Her basking spot is also on top of a wooden structure, I'm wondering if that could also be a possible hotspot for re-transmission. It's a pain to clean too. I...

So Xion's always had this incredibly nasty smelling poop, though I didn't have anything to compare it to since I haven't had a beardie in a long time. Whenever she'd go you'd hear this LOUD WET FART as liquid would launch out behind her before the log. Well, it got worse. Now, every time it's...

Hi everyone, these are pictures of my beardie’s (6yrs, F) poop taken at 5 seperate days over the span of June-August). I’ve noticed that my beardie’s poop has been more watery than usual (there’s usually a bit of water surrounding the poop, but this is excessive). On a few days there has been a...

Hello, a couple weeks ago my bearded dragon was diagnosed with parasites and he is currently on two medications. He has been being medicated for about 2 weeks now and is still not eating and is not as active as he used to be. He just lays around in his cage with the occasional black beard (he...

Hello! My bearded dragon is having running bowel movements, and I'd like to get him a fecal test. I have no vets around me and was hoping to find an alternative.

EDIT: I love you Nancy, R.I.P., she died of these health complications. Thread kept up in case anyone else in the future has similar issues and s searching, I sympathize with you. Nancy has suddenly fallen very ill within the past 3 days - little to no movement other than shifting positions...

I got the following back from the faecal test for my dragon, would this count indicate treatment required? I used an online service that do not remotely prescribe at this time, so I would need to take this to an exotics vet. Thought I'd check here first, as I know all dragons have some...

So my bearded dragon hasn't been eating much and she has been pooping a lottt. Like everyday sometimes twice a day and she's an adult. Idk what it is I'm thinking it's parasites, also I think she may have diarrhea since there's a lot of a clear looking mucus when she poops. She has also been...

I’m going to try and be as detailed as possible and give a clear timeline. 12/20/22: Went to the local reptile pet store to adopt a bearded dragon, at first we were going to go with one of their more expensive ones who had a cool morph but fell in love with a surrendered bearded dragon who we...

Hi all! I posted a few days ago, but after a second dose of ponizural and some purée pumpkin and a bath (on advice from my vet), our girl finally pooped. It’s still not totally solid and it’s smaller than I’d think for not having pooped in a week. There also appears to be some blood! It’s...

My bearded dragon, Franklin, was taken to the vet with concerns of mouth rot. She was cleared for mouth rot and instead suggested to have early signs metabolic bone disease from her previous owners which caused a slight underbite. She has a lot of saliva buildup on the sides of her mouth. I...

I just received some new Dubia roaches from Dubia.com, where I've been getting them the past several months. They seemed fine, although I didn't get a good look at them, but after I fed my beardie I noticed something on his tank wall. He's a messy eater so often guts end up around where he's...

Hi, Montero is a 1.5-year-old female bearded dragon. Early November she tested positive for coccidia and received two rounds of oral antibiotics. A fecal sample after treatment tested negative for coccidia. I originally tested her for parasites because she was losing her appetite and sleeping...
