Ok heres where Im at.
Had a delay I'n getting meds from vet, just back from picking up a prescription which was Nystatin with a note to administer 0.18ml once daily and that Septrin for coccidiosis will be ready to collect tomorow.
So looks like I'm treating the coccidia and yeast at same time, does that sound right?
I've also ordered avipro plus and critical care.

Avi pro is a pain- I found it a nightmare to administer. If you can, get acidophiliz from www.butterworms.co.uk (I'm assuming you are UK?)
are you sure it wasn't sulphatrim?
Dependant on the frequency of it, you *can* use it at the same time. So let us know the instructions for that.
What weight is your little guy? That seems a very small dose of nystatin?

Oh dear.... you could just use the avipro then although it really isnt great and there is a LOT of waste with it. Kazi point plank refuses to take it whereas he will happily take his full dose of acidophiliz.
TBH, I usually order from across the pond - takes about a week to get here though but works out at roughly £8 - £9 with postage which I think is a pretty good deal!
I usually get it from www.bug-de-lite.com (it is owned by Tracie, one of the moderators here) but you need to fill in the contact form first to ensure that she can post it to you and to ask her how to order since they dont have the option to ship to this side of the pond and she will need to confirm the shipping cost and the best way for you to pay it (it usually just involves adding something extra to your basket to cover the shipping cost - make sure to include your postcode in the email so she can work it out for you).

He finished shedding yesterday and is back to his usual 2 boxes of locusts a day lol. I didn't want to start treatment until he calmed down a bit as the shedding really stresses him.
I now have both meds from the vet which are nystatin @ 0.18ml once daily and Septrin @ 0.15ml once daily.
Should I give him the nystatin course first and then Septrin? Couldn't get a hold of vet to ask but I'm sure she would need to seek advice anyway. The Septrin looks like a longer course than the nystatin.

How long is he on the septrin for?
Coccidia can cause yeasts to flare up so, I think the septrin should be used first.
Great that you have the acidophiliz on the way. Isnt it awful how much of the avipro ends up going down the drain?? Make sure you get some of it into him orally too!
OOOh I spotted you on reptileforums.co.uk - I saw you sent the fecal to pinmoore - thats the lab I use - they are super quick with getting results back to you and they are pretty accurate in their testing - the lab my vet uses doesnt identify specific parasites so I generally send my own off to confirm his results! Or, I send mine off and forget about his lab

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
