Peter: It's OK, I'll handle it. I read a book about something like this.
Brian: Are you sure it was a book? Are you sure it wasn't NOTHING?

Go to www.herpvetconnection.com And go down the page a bit and hit on Ohio. I hope you can find one close by your house. Please keep us updated on how Pogo makes out. It is very possible he does have some coccidia. Maybe there is an increase do to stress of the trips and the show.

There is something you might want to try to stimulate his hunger, and is a must if you have to treat for parasites. A probiotic like acidophillus. You can get capsules of it in a pharmacy section by the vitamins and stuff, or at a pet store. One brand is Acidophiliz Brand, this brand is for reptiles and has vitamins added and comes in a liquid for easy administering. Pet smart carries it. I would definitely try this. It restores proper gut flora and might just cause him to eat more. I know I've treated quite a few of mine, actually I use it every month for them. Seems to work great. When you go to the vet and if he needs to be treated for coccidia I would say a probiotic is a must. The medicine used to treat it will kill good and bad flora in the gut as well as the parasites. So during and after treatments a probiotic should be used to replace good gut flora.

Another product out there is Parazap or Worm Guard made by Natures Zone. These are natural ingredients that are used to help lower parasites in the body. They also have a natural appetite stimulant added which will help as well. You can read up on Parazap at www.parazap.com. Natures zone worm guard can be bought at LLLreptile copy and paste http://lllreptile.com/v2/content/catalog/?section_string=care-
