Ok so we took Munch to the vet today and found that his fecal sample came back with >30 of pinworms and coccidia and 3-10 of Giardia.
He was prescribed Panacur, Bactrim, and Flagyl. I just want to make sure that the medications are correct and we are headed in the right direction. we have 4 prefilled syringes at .12ml of the panacur that is to be given once a week. We have Bactrim that is to be given .07ml once a day for 2 days then every other day for 21 days then we have flagyl that is to be started in 7 days and to be .10ml given once a day for 7 days. He weighs 540gms. (I think).... I am just wanting to make sure that this is the correct dosing so that 1. he is not going to get too sick from meds while trying to get better and 2. he is given enough meds to beat this.
My next concern is my 3 other dragons. I now have to get fecals for all 3 of them since they all run around in the same areas, (at different times) I know there is a way to do a DIY send off in the mail type thing, is it better to do vet visits or this DIY... None are acting sick but I still want to be sure that I nip this now with all and all have a clean bill of health so that they are not passing something back and forth...
One other question I have is how on earth does everyone steam their critter condos? Does it mess up the melamine? Is this safe? what is the best way to sanatize a condo? We only have one of our beardies in a glass 40L the others are in the melamine... any advice would be appreciated.
