Advice for frequent diarrhea in adult

[Mrkngpen]

My 5yo female beardie, Pheeny, has been pooping 2-3 times a day for the last couple weeks. About half the time it's runny like diarrhea and the other half it's normal. She is on slate tiles, has a Reptisun 10.0 tube bulb, basking temps around 105, eats collards, supers and butters. Her appetite and energy level is still great.

I little over a month ago, I rescued a male beardie who had pinworms (he has since gone to a new home). I dosed him with Panacur and even though they were separated, I dosed Pheeny with Panacur just to be safe. I have been washing all of her enclosure with a bleach solution weekly and whenever she poops in it. I dosed for her weight on 7/29/11 and 8/12/11. I also gave her Acidophiliz intermittently during and after this time. She did not develop the frequent and runny stools until about the beginning of September. Any ideas? I can bring her to the vet but it's almost an hour away so it's difficult to get to. I don't know if I should dose her with Panacur again or just wait it out a bit.

Thanks for any advice. I feel like I'm cleaning very messy poop constantly!

At 5 years old, how often are you feeding the feeders?
How old is her Reptisun 10.0?

 

[Mrkngpen]

She gets 3-4 worms every other day and a piece of collards every day. The Reptisun is about 2 months old.

Hello,

What do you feed the superworms?
When did this problem start & can you relate it to a change in diet at all?
What type of supplementation is she getting?

Tracie

The superworms are in gutload from progeckos. Her diet has not changed. She gets Repcal calcium w/ D3 5 days a week and Herptavite 2 days a week. The problem started a couple weeks ago, around the beginning of September. I did make a vet appt for Monday if things don't improve.

You can cut down her supplementation-
up to 1.5 years - calcium 5x per week / vitamins 2x per week (one(1) dusted feeding per day)
1.5 years + - calcium 3x per week / vitamins 1-2x per week (one(1) dusted feeding a day 4-5 days, 2-3 days nothing dusted)
Gravid female - calcium 5x per week / vitamins 2x per week (one(1) dusted feeding per day)
sick dragon - Unable to dose, due to variables of illnesses
up to 1.5 years butterworm/BSF larvae diet - calcium 2-3x per week / vitamins 2x per week
1.5 years + butterworm/BSF larvae diet - calcium 1-2x per week / vitamins 1-2x per week

Not saying that is what is causing her to have diarrhea though.
