So my guy Scooby was diagnosed with spirochetes a couple of months ago at a well lizard visit. No symptoms, voracious appetite, but we gave the treatment.
For the past three weeks, he has stopped eating his morning greens that he has eaten every morning since he was 8 weeks old, and moving a bit less. No swollen joints or any other worrisome symptom.
I dropped off a stool sample to the reptile vet and found out he has a protazoan organism (not coccidia) and was sent home with Flagyl (the same drug we were given for the other infection).
We are about to give his second dose, and his normal, voracious appetite for dubias is about half what he usually eats
He is a big 8 month old, so prior to this we were cutting down on his bugs.
He really has me worried, he is a food glutten. I hope as the next couple of days pass, his appetite will improve. He has some fat stores: 8 months old, 20.5 inches and 560 grams.
Thoughts on giving probiotic powder in the morning, and the flagyl in the evening? I am so worried.
