And the coccidia battle begins....... 
I just got Lolas fecal test back and my poor baby has coccidia and pinworms. I removed everything from her viv and soaked them in an ammonia solution for an hour, rinsed and soaked them in water and rinsed them again and have them set aside. Tomorrow i plan on cleaning out her old tank and keeping her in that during treatment with only a box with one side open as a hide, a rock on top of it for basking and one of her old sticks to get up to bask, all which will be thrown away after treatment and have papertowels as substrate so i can remove it fast after she goes. I soaked her tiles in ammmonia as well. Im going to clean her big viv out tomorrow with ammonia and dont plan on putting her back in it until she has a clean fecal.
I wish i caught this sooner, but she didnt show any obvious signs like runny or smelly poo, and the breeder i got her from is very reputable and ive kept in contact with her since i got Lo. The only thing i did notice is she would get dark stress marks, but the breeder would tell me not to worry and it was just relocation stress or she was cold and told me to up the temps, but her temps are always 105-110 basking, 90 ambient and 80 cool side,so i tried upping the basking to 115 but it made the other temps too high and she started to look dehydrated so i dropped them back to where they were before and it usually stays at 107ish. She is my first beardie, so i wasnt sure exactly how much was normal for a beardie her age to eat, but thought she wasnt eating much, usually 6-10 crickets twice a day and maybe one bite of greens,, 2 if im lucky. But again, the breeder kept saying relocation stress. I got her in october, so once january rolled around and i saw people saying their beardies younger than her would eat 20-30 crickets a sitting and she still would get really dark underneath (she tricked me when she was shedding her stomach, it was pure white and i thought she was finally feeling comfortable, then she shed and the black came back) so i decided it was time for a fecal. So my vet ordered albon and panacur for me, and i asked him to order me a probiotic. They all came in tonight,so i went and picked them up and gave her the panacur since its a once a week dose, and plan to give her the
albon in the morning and the bene bac in the evening, but heres where my problem comes in
i dont know if im just frantic from trying to make sure i do eveything to get rid of this coccidia and not
understand the directions or if they really dont make sense. Its bene bac plus powder for reptiles and birds, but the directions say for handfeeding to give 1/4 tsp on days 1,3,5&7, for growth and maintenance use as top dressing, changing conditions use indicated quantities as growth and maintenance.
Im not sure exactly what that means, only know that the 1/4 tsp is on the chart for 30-250grams and she is 100g but i dont know if i should mix it with water or how much, since she doesnt eat her greens much i cant put it on them, only otherthing i thought was mixing it w/ a small amount of baby food and giving it to her like i do with the albon and panacur? I also saw a few posts on here saying to up the dose a little bit since the meds are so harsh, but i dont want to do that without knowing for sure, and 30-250g is a big difference and i just think a 30 gram animal would be getting a much higher dose with 1/4tsp than a 200g animal?
Im so confused and i just want to make sure im doing EVERYTHING possible, the right way, and beat this coccidia (and pinworms but vet didnt seem concerned like he was the coccidia) as fast as i can once and for all!
If anyone has experience with the bene bac plus powder and knows exactly how much a 100g beardie on albon & panacur should get, how often & for how long, and what i mix it with and how much or i could dust her crickets but dont think that would be enough or if she will even have an appetite while on the medication, but i am hoping it willl make her feel better since shes had them at least for a couple months and being optimistic she will gain an appetite!
Any tips for my war thats begining with coccidia and how to keep it from coming back are greatly appreciated!
