My bearded dragon Pan has recently turned one years old this month. However, shes been pretty lethargic recently, preferring to lay in her shade in comparison to her basking spot and although she is still eating somewhat normally, occasionally eating less, she usually prefers to sleep most of the day. Due to this i paid for her to have a parasite test. I was wondering if someone could help me interpret the results as it was done at a private lab and not a vets.

Parasite test aside, we could go over your husbandry too if you'd like. That way we could rule out the behavior possibly being caused by something in her environment.

Hi,claudiusx":1qxyin0d said:That's the was very detailed!
Everything sounds great to me. If I had to have any concern it would be about the Arcadia. it's a great bulb, but its strong too! What would you say is the distance from the bulb to the tank floor. You want to make sure you provide areas of low to no uv exposure so she can escape the rays if she wants.
But, I'm sure it's fine, it's just the only thing that stands out to me as a slight possibility

Did the vet think the leg issue could be gout? Or was it not paid much mind. Either way, it's good it doesnt seem to bother her.
Tracie should be on later, she'd probably be the best person to give you advice on your parasite question

I zoomed in to read this, looks like she's negative for coccidia + crypto ,so that's good. Panacur is not a harsh med. and is tolerated quite well by most beardies. I think that's all I see there on the test, Tracie can check to see what she thinks.
