Kingofnobby, are all these people wrong?
Is that Trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole ?traildrifterphalanx":34hiphrx said:It's worth mentioning that my crew was prescribed SMZ/TMP for coccidia with great success.

Most likely tied to the company/s who manufacture/s these 2 drugs contractually, so are reluctant to prescribe other drugs (which are used successfully elsewhere).
Also , this thread has not been running long, and certainly not as long as one life cycle for the coccidian infesting your beardie either, I think I pointed out this wont clear up overnight early in the thread and no one contradicted this.

Trimethoprim is sometimes used alone as an antimalarial.

Thanks for the tip. I guess I have a bad reptile vet problem where I live. I have read a lot of success stories here from people that used Albon and a probiotic.
Here is an example of my Vet problem;
The Vet told us that her Technician was the resident expert on dragons. ( I had hopes that the Vet was the expert) This is the same Tech that told us antibacterial dish soap is what we should use to clean the cage.

Rather than the 40 gal. tank as a temp. home, just pick up a medium plastic tote from Walmart or a Dollar store. Not a tall tote but a shorter one and fix the lights on top. A flourescent light fixture can be set across the top and an aluminum one can be suspended over it or hung over the side like this.

It's very easy to clean and cage decor like cardboard egg crates can be thrown away + replaced daily. The flooring can be paper towel for easiest clean up. Or you can use nothing at all on the floor.
