[QUOTE="SupportDragon, post: 2035315, member: 109496"] Personally, I’ve only seen toltrazuril used if Albon doesn’t clear the infection. I believe many doctors are hesitant to reach for toltrazuril because it isn’t FDA approved for any use. I will say that, in the cases I’ve seen, toltrazuril and ponazuril have been very effective at clearing the coccidia that Albon failed against. Most doctors have their ‘go-to’ drugs they use for common issues like coccidia. Most of the time, these are warranted. However, overuse of drugs can breed pathogen resistance. So, doctors have a sort of ‘backup’ drug used if their ‘go-to’ doesn’t work. Doctors also have extra resources unavailable to the public. There are veterinary search engines and forums only accessible to doctors. This is why I always recommend calling your veterinary clinic with questions and concerns. They should be able to relay them to the doctor without making you pay an exam fee (if your beardie already had one this year). Ask if this treatment is really necessary, if there are other options, if there are measures you can take to prevent adverse effects (I.e. probiotics), when you should see changes/improvements/side effects, etc. Unnecessary drug therapy can be dangerous, your concerns aren’t unwarranted. Did you have a fecal analysis done? [/QUOTE]
