No it is NOT right to mix the fecals together and then test them. That is just dumb LOL (Sorry but that was the nicest word I could think of for that sentence)
Signs of cociddia are runny, VERY smelly stools. The smell will just about knock you off your feet at times. Weight loss and the dragon being lazy and lethargic.
I would get another vet and get the stools rechecked.

Lisa Thanks for answering so fast.I figured it wasnt right for her to mix the samples,she said she did it so I didnt have to pay for 2.I have 3 dragons one is a baby that weighed 45g when I got him/her and now weighs 55g after a week.The baby is active and his stools are not runny or stinky.My male that I have seems to lay around alot but is really alert when I go by his cage so I dont know if he has it or not.The female though I am pretty sure she has it she seems really lazy but has been gaining weight.She will only goto the bathroom if I soak her though.When I first bought her and took her to the vet she had a RI.
Thanks for the reply.
P.S. I was wondering when are you going to have some female dragons for sale. Thanks

Thats a pretty good sized male. Since it is coming up on spring and he can see your female, it is possible he is "horned up" so to speak lol
