Nina has been on metrodizonale and ponazuril before for coccidia and pinworms starting about 3 months ago.She improved for awhile but became under the weather again. She underwent antibiotic injections as well and another round of metro.
Better for roughly a month and then started becoming lethargic, hiding, stools runny and smelly.
Her newest fecal came back with elevated levels of coccidia and high amount of bacteria in her stool. The vet prescribed albon to combat the GI bacteria and ponazuril and metro again to wipe out the coccidia.
My concern is the high amount of medications administered in the past 4 months. I dont want her system to become overwhelmed. I am looking for advice on the dosage if it's too much?
Nina's weight- 392grams
Albon-0.4 ml for 5 days (strength-50mg/ml)
Metronidazole- 0.08ml every 48 hr for 5 doses(strength-100mg/ml)
Ponazuril-0.13ml every 48 hr for 2 doses (strength-90mg/ml)
She has been on acidophilliz for a month as well and benebac before that.
I will continue to give acidophilliz hours after the albon dose.
I am going to keep her hydrated too.
Her uvb was changed to a reptisun t8 mounted on top of enclosure 10 inches or so from basking spots. Her cool side is 87 to 89 degrees and basking 101-104 degrees.
Any input is appreciated, thank you!
