So, a few days ago, my beardie Juan was eating pretty good, and having some regular and formed poop everyday. But his poop smelled some, and my wife was complaining about it. I guessed it could be parasites maybe. So since we are not in a financial situation which allows us to bring Juan to the vet I decided to buy a little kit to do the fecal myself, along with a mini microscope that can reach 100x zoom, enough to see pinworms and big quantities of coccidia. After doing 2 fecals I didn't find any parasites, but the poop still smelled (not that filled the house with smell, but if you stuck your nose in the tank you definitely could smell it).
So then, since I didn't want to experiment with the poor Juan, and give him panacur or albon if I wasn't 100% sure about the parasites I decide to give him Reptaid. I read a lot about it (including all the thread here) and I thought that it would be good since it helped also in a lot of things other than parasites.
Here is the problem: After I started him with Reptaid his appetite went down a bit, he still eats a little of salad as always, and much less dubias. His poop became more "runny" or at least not a "trunk" but a pile with some water around. Still smelly. Sometimes he poops twice a day and the second is the normal, or the formed one.
I give him soy yogurt every other night for the gut flora. I'm not done yet with the treatment. Tomorrow will be the 10th day of the 1st round.
Any thoughts?
