This was given to us by our new Vet after three failed treatments for coccidia, it is published by Klingenberg: *Sulfadimethoxine is given orally, daily for three days, then every other day for two weeks. *Cage should be simplified to bare essentials; use newspaper or paper towels as a substrate, discard any wood cage furniture or rocks with cracks and crevices that can not be throughly cleaned and use cardboard and paper furnishings that can be throw away. *Clean the cage daily or even twice a day if posible with soapy water/bleach solution (one part bleach to 30 parts water) can be used to clean. *Change and throughly clean water bowls twice daily. *Insects that are not eaten once in the cage or with the animal, should NEVER be recycle, discard them. *This should be followed for two weeks or up to six weeks if necessary for success, followed with a fecal exam. Don't assume since treated, it is cured. This is one of the main problems leading to higher resistant strains *Fecal exam on any new dragon should be performed prior to introduction to a treated collection to prevent re-exposure. For extra caution, keep any new animal apart from others for three weeks, then fecal test them.
Its a parasite that lives in the lining of their stomach and intestines. It can cause very smelly poops and them to stop eating. Left untreated, it will kill an animal and even animals treated for it, unless cleared can waste away and have many other complication as the parasite can go deeper into other tissue and organs
