BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

Today I took Yig's poop to the vet,and turns out no pinworm or tapeworm in it,but there's a lot of trichomonad,and it show some sign of "Imbalance of intestinal flora"...which he said also caused by the trichomonad,he said it most likely come from water.The tap water here is not very clear,we usually boil the water after drink,but I thought that's only a problem for human's degenerative digestive system...
Now the vet give me a pill and tell me give him 1/50 of it per day for a week...that pill is smaller than my fingernail,I would have some hard work about it...
And I have to go to the hospital for my own problem tomorrow...such a bad luck...

Interesting article regarding treatment of protozoans in reptiles with metronidazole.

As always do not introduce new medications or cease existing without consultation with prescribing vet.

I'm not sure about yours,but as I said,tape water here is not in a good quality...I heard in some place they are better and fine to drink,but not here...
