Natural Remedy for Diarrhea?

[Phoenix76]

Hello,
I was just wondering if anyone knows of any natural or home remedies for severe diarrhea in B. Dragons?

The details are that his stool has suddenly turned into mostly a greenish liquid that even at times resembles water. Also, after I was cleaning it up one time he bit me through my blue surgical glove. After I removed it and washed my hands there was a half-inch round worm in the sink. I just moved him into a clean cage but also put him in with a female for the first time. He has only eaten pre-bagged mixed greens, Dubia Roaches and may have eaten a couple Hibiscus leaves from a potted plant I put in his enclosure.

Thanks

Hi there....it sounds like he needs to be treated for parasites if you actually saw one. Take a sample in for a vet to check + prescribe meds. for. Parasites can cause diarrhea and if your beardie eats a good amount of greens that can also have a softening effect.

The potted hibiscus is good for him but you need to rinse it off, even putting it in the shower or leaving it out in the rain to get any possible pesticides off the leaves.

Probably best to keep him away from the female until he has a clean bill of health.

OK. Thankyou AHBD.

I will separate them ASAP. They both have separate cages. I have them together temporary. I have a reliable exotic vet a few towns away and have used him for other pets. But I cant afford it now and last time I went to him I ended up paying a $200 bill for my canary and the vet only trimmed his nails. I also dread using those harsh meds unless last resort.

I was hoping people out there may have tried something like diatomaceous earth for the worms or some herb.

Thanks.

You're welcome. Someone else may have ideas or an opinion on that product. It's too bad your exotics vet is so expensive ! Panacur is a very safe + effective dewormer and you might even get some from bearded dragon.co. They can tell you how to dose it as well.

Thanks AHBD.

I'll check that website. I think my friend may also have some of that stuff.
