Hey guys,
The first month with my beardie has been a struggle (as you can tell by my post history lol). This weekend had me really worried as he stopped eating and got lethargic. I took him to the vet yesterday and found out that he tested positive for protozoa and pinworms. He took his first round of meds yesterday. I forgot to ask the vet a few questions because I was so worried about him. So:
1. When should his appetite start to come back?
2. He seems very undersized for his approximate age. He is about 7 to 7.5 inches long from tip to snout and weighed in at 9 grams yesterday. The vet didn't seem worried about his size but he seems very small to me. My guess is that he is about 2 to 2.5 months old. Could this be because of the parasites? Who knows how long he has had them, could have been the entire month that I've had him.
Any suggestions for me while he is getting meds?
