Both of my beardies have this. Let me know what they prescribed for treatment. My vet painted a bleak picture for recovery and said the probable cause was that as juveniles I fed them more crickets than veggies and they grew too fast.

She ignores the fact that my previous vet gave them 4 treatments for coccidia in a row in less than two months time.

The last treatment she gave them after the coccidia test came back negative she said "just to make sure".

I was never told to give them probiotics during treatments for Coccidia.

I am a first time owner though I have chameleons (they're fine)

and did lots of research into their care but much of the info did not mention medical issues.

I am livid that my supposed reptile vets never warned me about the albon and Bactrim possibly affecting them this way and felt they overmedicated them.

Any info in how your dragon is being treated you can give me is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Sonia
