reptaid question

[HUMBOLDTGUY]

is it safe to give it to beardies if you suspect something may be weird or do i need to take him to the vet and make sure.....hes just still a bit sluggish, and his appetite is a bit weird lately and his poo looks a lil different than normal....lots of undigested cricket parts in his ka ka

A good fecal exam is pretty inexpensive and will tell you all your answers. Whenever something is different.. especially with appetite and poo.. I would start at the vet.

my problem with fecal exam is he will only drop a deuce in the bath.....not sure how to get it to the vet

Call the vet and ask for a suggestion and see if they can take a poo that came out like that. The only reason I say this is because even with Reptaid, it's a different dosage to treat vs the dosage to keep healthy. I don't know too much about reptaid, but I still think it would be a good idea to get a fecal done before treating for anything.

so i have been giving her the reptiad but i think she is starting to hate me....everyday when i take her out and force this stuff in her mouth she gets pissed....and now when i take her out even if im not giving it to her she gets stress marks , and i fear its because she is beginnint to relate me to forcing a syringe into her mouth
