[QUOTE="SupportDragon, post: 2040099, member: 109496"] My beardy has had multiple parasitic (protozoan) infections in the past 4 months (he’s ALWAYS symptomatic). First it was coccidia; treated with Albon. Then it was something else (either Giardia or bacteria) that was causing severe indigestion; it was cleared with metronidazole. Then he had diarrhea so the metro was extended. Then he got coccidia again; treated with ponazuril. Now he’s having severe diarrhea that is sometimes very explosive/watery/foul smelling. I assume it’s giardia because fecal floats show nothing besides a few pinworms (not abnormal for him). We all know feeder insects are a common source for pinworm infections. What is the source for protozoan infections? I assume the back-to-back coccidia was him reinfecting himself (even though I’m very thorough with his biosecurity). The last time he had a possible Giardia infection would have been October-November, and he was treated for it. I clean his veggies with diluted vinegar. I’ve had him on a probiotic since December. I scrub his tank/equipment at least every-other-day. Where could these protozoans/bacteria, that he can’t self-limit, coming from? [/QUOTE]
