Parasites.

[Borje]

My bearded dragon, Lizzy that is around 4-6 months old started showing signs that she might have parasites. She went to the vet and turned out she had a lot of coccidias, we got medicine that we were going to give Lizzy once per day for 7 days. She eats a lot now but she still has diarrhea after the treatment and droopy eyes. Lizzy still has a lot of energy, runs around, and climbs.

Has another fecal been done to make sure the parasites are gone? Please NO enemas -- take another fecal in and have it tested to see if they are now gone- make sure your surface basking temps are being taken w/ a digital probe thermometer 105-110 for a dragon under 6 months and 95-100 for over - a good UVB NO coils please --- they are a health hazard - did you sanitize the tank every time she pooped when on the med? F 10 works really good

Will take another fecal test, thank you!

Her basking temp is good and the same with her UVB. She usually poops on her basking spot and I clean it every time. Just wondering, what can be the cause of droopy eyes as it looks like she has that.

Please post a pic of the eyes - could be genetics - but we need to look - has she always had he droopy eye look?

When I first got her she didn't really have the droopy eye look, over time I started to notice it.

The antibiotic kills all bacteria in the gut, good & bad. You need a probiotic to help her stomach feel better while & after being treated. Check out www.bug-de-lite.com & contact the owner, Tracie K. She's very knowledgeable.

I will see if that exists on Amazon, I live in Europe and they most likely don't ship here I think. I might need a little bit of help since I don't know what to look for and what is safe to use...
