I have had Saphira for 5 weeks, and decided it was time to take her for a vet visit. She was 8 inches old when I got her from the pet store. She has grown 2 inches. So, she's a little over 10 inches, and 66 grams. She's eating great, acts totally fine, poops every day in her bath, but I just felt like she should be gaining more weight...and her poop was a bit stinky. So off we went to the vet.
Anyway, the vet just called and left me a message...as they are actually closed until Monday for the 4th of July.
She said that Saphira has pin worms and coccidia, and will defiinitely need meds. I'm so bummed!!!
She never poops in her viv..only in her daily bath. So, after my initial viv cleaning and steaming, do I need to continue to steam it? Or only if I come home to a poop for some reason? What's the best way to deep clean the viv? She's on tile, has one giant basking rock, and of course her food dishes.
How long are they usually on meds? What is the best way to dispense them?
A little off topic, but how old do you think she is based on size, how long I've had her, where I got her? (I know every dragon is different) I'm not sure how old they are when they arrive at Petco. Mostly I'm asking because I'm really worried that her growth will be stunted. Do you think she will catch up.
One last question.. What do you guys use for probiotics? Do you use them before, during, after treatment? Where do you get them?
So sorry for all of the questions! I'm a bit frazzled, so if I've made myself unclear please let me know. Thanks!!
