I lost a university bursary i needed recently and money is tight - my vet recommended to save money i could use a medication that can be bought without a perscription and is about £9 or so to treat a mild coccidia problem. I used the shop bought 'beaphar reptile wormer' that treats round worms with good results - my vet said they were much much better with the initial 5 day treatment and with the repeat treatment after 14 days they should go all together (im in the middle of this we'll see how it goes). The vet said there were coccidia in the first test but not enough to really concern him - he said it was very mild and somewhat natural to have some. In the follow up test there was slightly more though so he said it'd be worth using the over the counter medication to just zap them before they become an issue. He recommended a product that contains Ronidazole and treats 'flagellates, coccidia, entamoebae and cryptosporidia (sometimes referred to as protozoans)' seen: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Beaphar-18581-Anti-flagellate-Reptiles-Medium/dp/B00477NPYU I hold a Level 2 Safe Use of Veterinary Medicines qualification so the actual dosing the medicine (following the instructions) and such is not a problem - id be very unlikely to overdose. I'd go ahead and get the prescription stuff if i really couldn't use the beaphar stuff - i'd just have to save a little first.
Has anyone else used Ronidazole and is it okay?
