parasite spreading abilities

maclen Sep 11, 2004 09:33 AM

can parasites spread throughout a room. i have a couple WC animals that probably have parasites and a bunch of CB. then again i have had the wc and cb together for almost 4 years and the only problem i have seen yet is one of my beardies poop smelling, but that could have been from something else. anyways thanks for any info

They can't be transmitted through the air, but one instance of you not washing your hands or cage fixtures could spread it. Why not get ALL the suspected carriers checked (including your suspected CBs?)

If you bring in several most vets WILL cut you some slack on the price if they do multiple tests. Call your vet and ask! Or start with your WC animals and work down to your CB animals. If your WC animals have them treat them then test your CB.
