I took my approximately 2 month old beardie, Baby to the vet yesterday for the 1st time. Let me just say that the vet was absolutely Awesome with her.
Unfortunately, they called me today and the fecal sample that I took in showed positive for pinworms and coccidia. They said it's very normal and that it could be from before I got her from the pet store but I would have thought that she would have shown some kind of signs of sickness by now (I have had her a little over a month). She eats very well and is active and overall a very happy dragon. Her temperament is sooo good even when she's shedding. All of her poops have seemed normal to me (not too hard and not too runny). My thought was that I recently ordered crickets from a different place. Do you think the parasites could have came from those crickets? Also is there anything that you can recommend to help prevent her from getting them again? I go tomorrow to pick up her meds from the vet.
