Hello, my beardie Kora has had pinworms diagnosed to her. She has been put on two different medications and has been resistant to both. She has had fenbendazole and pyrantel pamoate. I have been looking at her fecal under a microscope and might have found some evidence of coccidia. Is this what this is? I have photos below. One is a photo off google, one is a zoomed 40x slide sample of my beardies.

She has had runny poo with mucus for over a year now and with her being so resistant, it turns out the pinworms are dormant in her. They said she may have been exposed as a baby and now there is infestation that is hard to treat. Despite it being hard to treat, it NEEDS to be treated! It is causing slimy saliva and dehydration. I will be getting her into vet in about 2 weeks as I am moving across country and have decided to deal with it there rather than back and fourth across the states. I also have another thread about her belly being discolored which the vet did not note. Hopefully it is shedding, but its been over a year like that too. Kora is 7/8 years old and is in great health otherwise, but I know she is not 100% her self.

The pictures are very good, thanks for posting them.
There seems to be a medium count so I do agree that they should be treated then since
her stools are being affected.
Is she doing ok on the medications right now? Keep her well hydrated during the medication
rounds & if needed you can get her on some probiotics, too for help with her tummy & digestion.
