I have a male R.F.I've had him since Jan 21 of this year. He's about 7 inches and weighs about 1.02lbs.
He doesn't seem sick but I was concerned because he doesn't eat much. Most times, not anything. Any hoo we just came back from the vet. I gave the vet a fecal sample to examine. He said that he sees parasites. Namely flagilittes and round worms. He doesn't have a whole bunch of experience with herps and needs more info on what types of meds he could / should prescribe. Any expert advise will be greatly appreciated.
