Hello.
I have two beardies who have adequate heat and UVB and room to run. About 4 months ago my fiance and I took them to the vet and had fecals done and they were treated for coccidia with Albion and started growing like mad. In the past month or so they have slowed down growing. My female seems to be brumating, so I figured that was why she wasn't growing much (not eating, etc), but my male isn't growing either. I want to get them treated for anything they might have, but the coccidia treatments were so rough on the little guys and my bank account. Does anyone know of any cheap alternatives that might be out there to help my beardies grow some more, and get better if there are any parasites? Is there a place I can have a cheap fecal sent to? The vet here charges $20 per fecal (I really don't want him to prescribe some rough meds like last time).
Thanks!
