I have taken Nefarian to the vet twice already, the first time the vet said he had coccidia. Now that one is gone, he has a larvae from some other parasite now. I forget what the name of it is I'll have to look on the plastic bag she gave me. Basically she wants 2 doses of the medication done and see another fecal in 6 months. So I'm thinking it can't be all as serious as maybe other ones. I have to give him his second dose in 2 weeks.
Now onto what's going on, I usually have basking temps around 105-115 he's 9 months old now, all of this eating and basking came to a halt earlier last year like it started in early December. I switched terrariums around that time too, to a 40 gallon. The uvb tube I use which is a Reptisun 10.0 is about 15-18 inches from him. It sits on top of the terrarium screen, I had it kind of in the middle of the whole enclosure and not at the basking site. His cool side is 81-83 and his cave to sleep is there. The dragon seems lethargic and unwilling to move around but at the vet and places he's trying to climb up the wall that has plastic on it ?
So his diet, he refuses to eat black solider fly larvae/Dubai roaches/the crafted bearded dragon food from flukers that has crickets ground up into soft pellets/ crickets (he will eat a few on occasion but I have to put them inside of his enclosure or he won't even touch them in the feeding container. As for the feeding container I'm using a long rubber maid sterilite container from Target. The only thing he will eat is sometimes crickets but only 4 a day or super worms. I hate feeding him supers because he constantly gets impacted,so I'm trying to feed green's. He's not taking that either though.
So my question is what is going on ? When I ask the vet she says it's a combination of the coccidia from last time, and the parasite he has now+ the weather and anything else except ask me questions about my husbandary. Does anyone here that's super experienced with reptiles have an input on what I can do to get his appetite back?
