Thank you for your response. It is good to know I am not the only one out there struggling with this (though I am sorry you are dealing with it too).



The original fecal was a regular one, the second one done last week was a more comprehensive one done at the reptile and exotics lab. Both showed nothing. The blood work was also comprehensive and showed nothing abnormal.



The Flagyl once again seems to be helping. We did 5 days once a day, and now we are doing every other day to see what happens. If we are good after every other day after a few weeks, we will go to every third day, etc, assuming no neurological symptoms arise. If we see problems we are to stop all together.



We are very diligent about keeping his cage clean. Once a week he gets a bath and we bleach the whole cage and all accessories. Every day we spot clean when he goes...the problem is when he goes when we are not home and walks through it, getting it all over himself and everything in his cage



I really hope this course of treatment works, and wish you the best of luck as well.



P.S.-Did you ever find out what bacteria/organism was causing the problem? Did you treat with anything?
