Im getting my dose this week!fc3schick87":db4f702j said:frill dragon was diagnosed with giardia. after 5 day treatment of flagyl giardia is gone but he still has ALOT of coccidia in his fecal smear. he is eating but not passing fecal. i started him 2 days ago on reptaid and his apatite seems stronger. before he was just eating every few days, but today he actually ate infront of me. attacked the cricket as soon as i dropped it in.
giardia can cause 2ndary infection since it causes such harsh diareah, and coccidia can also cause irritation and inflamation in the gutt. i was given baytril for him, but i HATE using it because it kills their appetite and doesnt always rid of bacteria in their body, also leaving them quite dehydrated.
tomorrow is day 3, i'm bringing images of fecal exam to vet to talk to him about everything.
hopping reptaid help rid of the coccidia, as well as reduce risk of infection from inflamation from giardia+coccidia
Just discovered my baby has loads of pinworms and signs of a few tapeworms.
will try with reptaid before the panacur session...

And that your beardie is well hydrated? Dehydration and the other items I've mentioned can also cause your beardie to behave in such a manner.
Even when choosing to use the Reptaid for parasites it's always best to get a fecal to see what you are working with. Also this will allow you to have a second fecal done after treating to see if it helped. Not all beardies respond to the Reptaid the same.

Why would you not use panacur first? Panacur is not harsh. Panacur will kill the pinworms and worms if dosed properly.
