[QUOTE="SupportDragon, post: 2035325, member: 109496"] That’s a really tough spot to be in. I would recommend having your current vet email you a copy of her (his?) medical record. The new vet will want it and then you can also see the fecal results. Typically, Albon is for coccidia and Panacur is for worms. I would postulate she has both if both were prescribed. Pinworms and coccidia are pretty opportunistic. Typically they exist without issue in low numbers because beardies’ immune system/commensal bacteria can keep them in check. In my experience, Albon is safe for reptiles when dosed properly and should have minimal adverse effects (as long as it’s given with food). However, I have also never seen a doctor prescribe Albon for 14 days. Parasites are, obviously, very dangerous for gravid reptiles due to their increased nutritional requirements. However, from what I understand, Albon can perpetuate the dehydration gravid reptiles are already prone to if used in excess. Generally you should see some improvement about 3-4 days into most anti parasitics(depending on the dosage). If the doctor is insistent on Albon after you’ve expressed your concern with it, you should know within a few days if it’s having an effect. Depending on the type of coccidia, full eradication typically isn’t necessary in beardies. The population just needs to be low enough that the host’s system can control it. A few coccidia is healthy for a beardie. Has the doctor recommended any dietary changes because she’s gravid? [/QUOTE]
