I'll start this off by saying I have a vet appointment next week, so I do plan on getting professional help. This is just to fulfill my own personal geekiness. Plus, this way I can run regular fecals to make sure nothing comes back. I regularly foster beardies and other herps (never allowed in contact with my baby, but still), so I'd like to be able to do this for my own peace of mind.
I just did a simple fecal float. I easily identified coccidia and pinworm eggs. Now my question is how do I tell how heavy the infestation is? I particularly saw a LOT of pinworms, easily between 75-100 at 4x magnification. It seemed like way more than normal levels, and obviously he will be treated for that.
Thanks a lot!
