[QUOTE="SupportDragon, post: 2035327, member: 109496"] Do you remember which antibiotic it was? Metronidazole? I believe most of the common antimicrobials used for GI parasites have anti inflammatory properties already. I haven’t seen steroids used in reptile GI parasite treatments so I can’t speak on whether it’s effective or ineffective. But, I believe many vets avoid it due to its immune system suppression properties. Many GI parasites are considered normal in low quantities (for beardies). But, if antibiotics are prescribed in excess and steroids are suppressing the immune system, the host’s commensal bacteria wouldn’t be able to limit the parasites to low quantities. [/QUOTE]
