[QUOTE="xp29, post: 2043614, member: 114539"] Coccidia is a real pain to get under control. It's damn hard to kill. It will drink bleach and spit it back out at ya. The only thing that kills it is strong ammonia (ammonia is toxic and has to be rinsed and aired to zero fumes) or high heat (200ish) degrees. Both have to be in contact with the parasite for about 10 minutes to kill it. You need to do a very deep sanitization of his habitat and decor, dispose of anything that can't be sanitized. The best way to beat Coccidia is to break it's life cycle, luckily for us it does have a chink in it's armor. In order to multiply it has to be pooped out and reingested. That is our chance. Beardies test everything with their tongues, so if they track through their poop and spread it around they will inevitably reingest it. The trick to beating Coccidia is to keep their habitats sanitized, poop ABSOLUTELY has to be cleaned up asap. 3 doses seems very low for the antibiotics. Both times I've dealt with it, I had to give doses daily for a coulpe weeks. But my beardies were adult, so that might be why the low dosage. Keep us posted on his progress, we all always root for them and get invested in everyone of them. [/QUOTE]
