[QUOTE="BeardyMama77, post: 2023196, member: 85858"] Hey there, I’ve gone over your post and the responses and I would like to share my current experience with my dragon that also has a high count (3+) of spirochetes. His stool sample was checked towards the end of February this year and he tested with a 3+ count, which is a bit high. Unfortunately my vet hadn’t gotten his results in time before leaving for a month to Antarctica. So when she got back, he was still stable at that time. So, we started with one dose of oral ivermectin, which he ended up having a bad reaction to. One morning his stool had a little burgundyish blood and a watered down red wine colored fluid. Then a few days later had another stool with a bit more blood again. We discontinued the ivermectin and started him on Ceftazidime injection, subcutaneous fluid injection (for dehydration), oral Amoxicillin and Metronidazole. I would strongly recommend a retest of the stool to make sure they’re completely gone. How’s your guy doing? My guy doesn’t have an appetite at all and I’m feeding him a veggie/omnivore slurry.
