Parasites- please help!

[beardie parents]

I've heard great things on Reptaid. I haven't really read anything negative or harmful about it. I've tried it on my two girls. It doesn't always give Rosie a better appetite but it did about one year ago when she was about 6 months old and not inclined to eat much (she never really did) but it did take a couple of months of 3 days of giving it and then off for awhile. She had a little better appetite about the middle of March.

Hey,

Thanks for your reply! I ordered the reptaid last night.

But I just had a huge breakthrough! For the 1st time in a month...she just ate phoenix worms off my hand while still in her tank! She ate about 20 medium worms! Yay!!!!!!!!!

Gotta go to work now...running late!

Thanks again!

Well.. I must say my little girl is doing very well today! (*Knock on wood*)

She ate a bunch of P. Worms (still off my hand) and then ate a bunch of greens off her plate! She dove into it and gobbled mouthfuls of chopped up greens! Now she is basking (unfortunately under the cool side light....i'm gonna try to encourage her to move under her basking light instead so she gets the higher temps..lol)

She also looks like she is going to shed (granted ive been saying that for like a month....but her tail really really looks like it needs to shed! Any day now! lol)

This is her, right now (I JUST took the pic)

She looks so fat and healthy now! I am so relieved! Now I just need to get her back to hunting food and not eating off my hand! lol

Thank you to everyone who has helped!

So this parazap stuff really works uh? How many days to you give it to her? was there ever any blood in her stool? I have to get a fecal done next week and I found your tread.

Hey,

I never actually confirmed parasites...but I am pretty sure she had them. Her symptoms fit. She had no issues with the parazap!! I gave it to her twice a day (sometimes more if she didn't take enough at a time) for roughly 7 days.

She is now eating well and is in the process of shedding (for the first time in like 1 1//2 months!)

I recommend giving parazap a try!
