Coccidia /Albon not working

[hill202]

Treating this thread as a medical log, here is the treatment plan as of today.

She was given .04 ml of Toltrazuril at 1:30pm today. These are the two recommended treatment schedules that came with the med;

1. Give one dose every 24 hrs for one or two days and perform fecal exam.

2. For very high counts, give one dose every 24hrs for 3 days and perform fecal, repeat in one week if necessary.

No doubt, I need number 2 but I can do a fecal Saturday and see where we are at.

I steamed the cage again today. The cleaner that will hopefully be here tomorrow is this;

She was also given some soy yogart at 5:00pm.

The following supplements I either have on hand or will be here tomorrow.

Jump Start
Reptiaid
Repti boost
A probiotic powder coming from beardeddragon.co
Critical care - coming tomorrow. I'm not sure about this. I just kept seeing the name.

By All means, track her health and dosage here. Those with more familiarity on medications can definitely assist.

Just for some peace of mind, I took my girl in a week after getting her and she had coccidia and was a little over two months old and 63g at the time. She just was treated again last month and she's been with me 3 months and she's healthy, 274g as of last week. Likely nearing 300g now.
Here she is peeking out a window

Your little one appears to be around the age when my girl first started on meds, she looked good in your pic, and just needs her appetite. I highly recommend a proven pro biotic. My boy didn't like soy yogurt, but they both like this from bug de lite

Wow!!! She looks great!. So, if I'm reading right, she is 5 months old and weighs close to 300 grams???
She weighed 63 at 2 months!

Mine is almost 7 months old and weighs 52 grams.

That is mind boggling for me. That is alot to take in. Mine is so severely stunted and under weight, I don't see how she can bounce back. I knew she was stunted when I got her but i did not realize it was that bad.

I received mine at 5 months old and she weighed 48 grams.

I hate to beat a dead horse but this brings me right back to the breeder. She has a link to this thread and Collette I hope you are reading this. Your clients sure are! You said there was nothing wrong when I received her. Why don't you say something here?

 

[hill202]

so when yours reaches mines age, it will weigh what 400?

So mine is roughly 350 grams under weight.

That's probably going to always bring on health issues.

That's why she said I should put her down.

You people would laugh me out of this forum if you knew how much I've spent trying to heal her.

She is always going to have issues, runts usually do.

Alucard is likely 5 1/2 months old, honestly, but she's a petsmart baby so I have no real idea. They had her a month before I took her, and they often receive theirs at a month or so old.

I was under the impression yours was about two months old. For five months, she's very undersized.

Company over, I'll respond more thoroughly soon

Mine is 7 months.

Holy crap.
Who is the breeder??

I just want to show I'm not bull crapping you.
This is two month old Alucard

This is last week

Any chance the breeder has no idea of the hatch date??

 

[traildrifterphalanx]

Undersized or not, the main goal is we want to get her healthy, and honestly when it comes to the health of my animals, money is not an issue, do please don't feel embarrassed for caring so much for her. I've spent hundreds trying to save baby chameleons, and hundreds memorializing my first beardie.

I know you've already shelled out a bunch for this little girl, but I'd really recommend the reptiphilus pro biotic. I'm sure the soy yogurt can work, I just want to recommend what has proven to work for myself

 

[hill202]

The breeder has each dragon numbered with a marker and their birthdate posted with a pic.She seemed organized with that. Yes, I saw a pic but look on her site,the dragons are laying in the same position on a blue pad with nothing for scale. Their weight is not posted, so there is a good tip for any new owners, ask the breeder how much they weigh!

I thought I had done my research. I did a ton of research on the enclosure. I had it ready before she got here and then rushed through the dragon purchase process. This thread will hopefully help a new owner one day. They will at least know what not to do.

Atomic Lizard Ranch is the breeder.

The pics you are posting are blowing me away. Reality is starting to set in. I'm sure going to continue to try to get her healthy but I need to factor in possible expenses in the future.

 

[traildrifterphalanx]

In general, her smaller size won't add any additional health issues, as long as she doesn't have MBD or anything like that. She'll just be pocket sized. Heck, you might even save money on smaller feeders.

Poor little girl.

 

[hill202]

She has had a rough 2 months with me.

 

[traildrifterphalanx]

Has she been on meds the entire time for coccidia?

 

[hill202]

Has she been on meds the entire time for coccidia?

Not all of it but alot. She has had some breaks. It was Albon too, so she has been pretty miserable.

 

[hill202]

and just to keep it interesting, I've lost 5 pounds maybe a little more ,pretty fast recently.

After being elbow deep in coccidia for 2 months, I hope humans can't get it

I guess that will be a different forum

Hello,

Well, she sure is cute though & no doubt, being well taken care of! No one on here will
laugh at you for whatever amount you have spent on your girl. I am pretty sure most of
us on here have been through spending sprees like that, which just never end!
I'm sorry that the breeder didn't take the proper care of her or the mother when she was
gravid. It likely goes back to the breeding, & inbreeding unfortunately.

Keep doing what you are doing & hopefully she will take off soon in growth.

Tracie
