No problem.
I have had Pablo for 4 years now and he has been healthy ever since. He did stop eating about 2 months ago, and I researched the Parazap and all that I read indicated that it was impossible to overdose with it because it was "natural" whatever that meant. I also changed up his diet from his normal lobster roaches and he seemed to be fixed up in a matter of a week of so. Well now he just won't turn around...
When discussing his set-up,...he is in the same cage he has been in since I got him (4 feet high X 3 feet wide x 2 feet deep). Yeah he's livin large. In the cage is a big ficus benjamin and pothos that is running rampant and I cleaned the leaves and cage about 1 month ago. I am guilty of not changing his lights in over 2 years,...I never even thought about it until you said something.
The reason I thought he may have parasites is because I have a feeding container comprised of a cut-out milk carton that I put the roaches/crickets in and he can sit at the top and devour. Well one day I noticed he deficated in there and I figured that the roaches may have gotten infected by it, etc.
I was unable to go to the vet again today because of 2 reasons: #1 - no poo (I did the warm water trick and held him in there for a couple minutes and he just stared at me with hate) and #2 - we had a snow storm blow in around the time I was going to go (it's about an hour drive to the herp vet and we got about 4inches in 2hours).
I keep getting discouraged and don't want him to suffer anymore. I just don't know what else to do because I don't want to go without a fecal sample and risk stressing him out anymore if nothing will come of it.
