So you did your own test?? You saw something...but your not sure what???? Isn't there some sort of visual chart or something to tell you what you are seeing??? I know that I wouldn't know what I was looking at either!! There must be some way to know what these parasites look like..
So is he on meds now??

We haven't done the test yet. We'll see if we can get it figured out. We have lots of photos and charts on what to look for.

We're just 99.99% sure he has something....and we're 95% sure it's lingering coccidia from his last sickness. We can't to make sure he doesn't have anything else before we start giving him meds.

It was about $150 for the microscope, 100 slides, 4 fecal test tubes, and fecal float solution.

Hopefully the $150 will pay for itself in the long run....it should since a vet visit is $45, and a fecal test is $25.

Thats not too bad, especially if you have more than one dragon..it could pay for itself pretty quick.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
