Decreased appetite from meds?

[Dragon4Me]

Hi,
Has anyone else seen that when their beardie went on anti-parasitic meds it decreased their appetite? My 6 month old, 73 g beardie tested positive for parasites (he was not symptomatic, though, his stool actually looked perfectly normal). A few weeks ago I got him on to Phoenix worms and his appetite was great. Literally the morning after I gave him his first dose of Panacure two days ago, he wasn't interested in his morning worms. He eventually ate them, but I'd say his appetite is about 1/3 of normal. I'm not overly worried but wanted to ask if this is common.

Also, since he had coccidia and pinworms, I've replaced his carpet. What can I do with the wood that he climbs on - can I bake it to kill anything on it?

Thanks
Jennifer

Hi there! You should order some of the pink disinfectant from beardeddragon.co to clean up after coccidia. As for the appetite, that is totally normal. You should get some soy yogurt as a probiotic to help stimulate his appetite
