Parasite Reinfection

[tarynd98]

Hello, my bearded dragon had parasites about a month and a half ago. We went to the vet, turned out it was roundworms and hookworms. We got Pancur and some type of anal relief, I can’t remember what it is called. She was on that for two weeks, went back to her usual self, was getting much better. However, now that the treatment has ended, she still has pink in her urate. She is not sleeping as much as when we first noticed it, however. She had one poop with white urate but now it is pink again. I’m just so worried because she has had it for about 2.5 months now (the vet was booked out for a whole month) and I really love her. I just don’t understand. What else can I do for her? I am taking her in for another fecal, though I am out of town right now (she is with me). Please help. Thanks in advance!!

Forgot to mention we did clean the cage and her substrate is paper towels!

Is it not possible that her urates are pink from something you fed her?

Unfortunately, no. She actually has a hatred towards red fruits. She only likes blueberries, blackberries, etc. No reds, oranges, or pinks. Nothing in her food can make it pink.

UVB Reptisun T5 HO tube light. Basking temps are mid to high 90s and cool side is usually around mid 70s. I have stick ons, also use an IR gun to make sure surfaces don’t get too hot. She is about a year and a half.

Is your T 5 inside the tank or top of screen? For a fine screen mesh like a screen door it needs to be inside the tank directly above the basking decor 12-15 inches-

It is inside the enclosure. We have a Zen Habitat!

Hello,

How is your girl doing?
What type of supplements are you using, do you use calcium daily or other types of vitamins,
etc?
How long has she had pinkish urates? At her age, she could have some hormonal fluctuations,
which can sometimes affect the colorations of the urates.
Is she eating well?

She is sleeping a lot right now, though I believe it is because we are in an unfamiliar place, she does it every time I visit my parents. I use calcium with vitamin D3, calcium without D3, and multivitamins (she gets at least one of them daily). She eats very well, sometimes she’s picky about her greens and won’t eat them some days, though she has always been like that. She has had pink urate for about 2.5 months. It started when she originally got infected with hookworms and roundworms. It just hasn’t got any better after original infection, except for that one poop. The stool is also loose.
