[QUOTE="Moxxie1122, post: 2016039, member: 114620"] We finally got all the dragons tested just to be safe! Dragons tested positive for coccidia and pinworms. Phoenix (9 1/2 month old) had the heaviest load of both and is exhibiting all the signs of pinworms. Octavia (9 month old) shows more signs of coccidia but also has pinworms. Moxxie (10 month old) showed very low count of both but it wasn’t the best sample and he does have a poor appetite. My two questions are: 1. For treating the pinworms with febendazole, the recommended dosage is 25–100 mg/kg, PO, every 14 days for up to 4 treatments 50 mg/kg/day, PO, for 3–5 days. So is 50mg/kg ok for all three? We plan on weighing them tomorrow (Tuesday). The boys (moxxie and Phoenix) are good sized but Octavia is on the smaller side. 2. Syringes: We gave Phoenix some probiotic (benebac gel) and some pumpkin 2x, 3 days apart. He’s chomping the syringe so hard that he’s flattening the end and therefore destroying them. I’m afraid he’ll bite an end off. He’s very picky and will only eat his greens and before he started showing symptoms of pinworms, he would eat dubias. He won’t touch anything that isn’t green, not even fruit or berries and if we put anything on his greens (other than bee pollen which we stopped in order to get correct fecal results). Any suggestions of stronger syringes? [/QUOTE]
