I need a little help here. I have a large group of dragons ( around 40 adults and sub-adults) and I need to know the best way to treat for coccidia and pinworms. Is parazap the way to go and if so what does it do?

Thanks...

If you've already got them you need a vet and some albon or whatever they think. Strip all the cages of any decorations, you're going to need to scrub down and disinfect cages at least once a day and spot clean as necessary. As contageous as it is I would bet that if some have it then they all probably do. I'd take fecal samples from like 5 of them and have them tested and if all 5 come back bad treat everyone. Good luck, you're in for a lot of work. BTW how did you ever get 40 adults without knowing this lol???

I should have been more specific! lol!! I do all my own fecal test here on site. I know that I do have a mild pinworm problem but only a few are show high coccida levels and sighns of a problem. I have been assisted by a vet and have tried to treat but the coccida is sill a problem.

I was hoping that someone can give me some advice or tricks how to treat a larg group of dragons. Also what med's work the best and are the most effective.

well I don't know if there is a better way but....

divide and conquer!

get a whole bunch of extra tanks, plastic tubs and such as keep cleaning the ever-living-c$%!! out of anything used with the guys...

also clear out all your feeders, and clean that gear to death .... only put a feeder into a clean tank with a dragon.

any un eaten bugs should be concidered as infected and disposed of asap.

no food or soil or other stuff should get from dragon a to dragon b.

and every dragon will need to have it's tank or cage cleaned *EVERY DAY*

I hope you knew most of this.... and that this just might tell others that treating this stuff takes work. one more reason why breeding is not a trivial thing to start doing.
