Parasites

[krazylexi]

What are the signs? How much do fecal test cost?

The signs are typically reduced appetite, lethargy, and the big one is very stinky poo. Sometimes they are okay except for the poo smelling. Depends where you get a fecal done - at a vet, probably $30-50 at a vet. You can also get one done by Cheryl and beardeddragon.co. They are much cheaper - I want to say $5-7, but don't quote me on that! You would just have to send it to her in the mail following her directions.

Yep alot of us will take if much cheaper then a vet, seen quite a few lately just preemptive :shock: dosing with pancur.

My vet charges $75 for a visit and $33 for a fecal -

You can get a cheap fecal done from Cheryl on beardeddragon.co and then order your panacur from her too, I think! I know breeders who give panacur to their dragons every spring as a preemptive measure against parasites. I am noticing some stinky poo lately, I will likely be ordering a float myself

It is not recommended to treat your dragon for parasites without a positive fecal exam. Many of the medicines used are very harsh on their systems and should be used only when necessary.
