Don't give up! Its tough if a parasite infestation has cropped up beside the RI, I had a beardie go through it. Many animals carry a low level bioburden of parasites that the immune system keeps in check until the animal falls ill then the bioburden gets out of hand. Have a fecal done, supplement any antibiotics for parasites with Parazap. For the antibiotics and stomach digestion in general supplement the animal with a probiotic such as Acidophilz . Disinfect the cage with a 5% solution of bleach and bake the cage furniture. Place the animals on paper and replace the paper as soon as there is any feces. Disinfect weekly to break any direct life cycle of parasites!
