My iguana has worms, little white worms they came out when he took a poop, is this common and do u know how much would it cost to get this treated, and what are the affects of these worms.
thank you

Do they look like little rice that move? If so they are tape worms and must be treated by a vet. The cost should not be bad. My vet in Miami, Fl charged me a office visit and the med. which was about $15 (please don't quote me on this). Once treated he started to eat a lot more and gaining weight. Take a stole sample (a fresh one) to the vet to make sure there are no other types of worms)

yeah thats what they look like, I hope the price isn't to much in california my budget isn't very good right now. and it hasn't been eating very much still a good size though.

my mali uromastyx just got over tape worms. it cost 60 bucks for the firs visit. that included the exam,fecal,and meds. then he had to go back for two more treetments that only cost 20 bucks each. every vets prices are different. good luck

thats not to bad ok im gonna capture one of those worms and take it to the vet to see what kind they are and take it from there.

Take a fresh fecal to the vet so that he can also see if there are anyother types of worms that need to be treated. Good luck
