[QUOTE="DorgEndo, post: 1920065, member: 103228"] Dangit This is why you also get a fecal from an independent lab other than the in-house one at the clinic. Lab saw an Oxyurid pinworms count. Much lower than what Devlyn had before. 2-4 eggs or parasites seen on entire slide. She was clear before brumating. Not sure if this is a residual infection from when I first got her or if she was re-infected from something she ate. I know there is some hypothesis that Oxyurid is considered commensal to bearded dragons, but considering how sick Devlyn was when I got her I'm not risking it. Last time I had to force feed her medicine. Sigh, I had to make her eat a dose yesterday. Tonight injected them into a superworm. Wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. Dubia would probably work better for injecting but they are wriggly and strong. Also, I'm still displeased with the lighting set up. Her hot spot isn't as big as here body, so I'm going to try a two heat light system as lower wattage. 75 by 75 . Tested it out tonight. Her 105 °F hot spot was a lot bigger. Some spots were 109°F where light overlapped, which is still acceptable. I worry since the hot spot wasn't as big as her body maybe her immune system wasn't able to be at its best. Her skin spot of dark scales might be improving. Hard to tell. Taking a break from antibiotic cream and using iodine once daily. Too much antibiotics for too long increases risk of fungal infection (for people or dragons). Devlyn ate a few bites of radicchio and collard greens today. She has been refusing greens terribly since waking from brumating. Good news there. [/QUOTE]
