I always recommend taking your reptile to a vet specializing in reptiles and exotics. It is better to know what type of parasite you are dealing with rather than to medicate them with a lot of different meds blindly. For my area here in Southern California I recommend Dr. Tom Greek. http://gavh.net/about/dr-tom-greek

There is a book I have Understanding Reptile Parasites or something like that you may want to read, it's on amazon. I think there is a parasite ID chart on a site called beautiful dragons too

I'm late to the party on this one but I often use a mail order fecal service that I've had good luck with. Perfect Pet products, they will call and give you the results and ask if you have any questions for the vet. However, I should note that I also work with a local vet that treats exotics, too, so if it's a parasite I

Dr. Kanfer in Passdena (2121 East Foothil Blvd Pasadena CA United States) sees pigs but I haven't had to take Kevin Bacon to the vet yet. I also have a contact for one in Calabasas if you need that one.

I'm with Madi McNaughton. Veterinary surgical specialists is the place to go. Our senior dog could not walk on his front leg and we wound up getting a bone biopsy. Dr Craig is amazing! The whole center is amazing. The dermatology specialist next door is treating my latest rescue pup

You've got to see a specialist for something like that. I swear by Veterinary Sergical Specialists in Trust in off of Edinger. See Dr. Sebastein (the spelling on the last name might be off, just fyi). He is very good and so are the other orthopedic specialists there. I totally trust them and saw him for my dog Charlie.

Actually, we have an appointment Saturday afternoon with Dr. Sebastian at VSS! They seemed VERY familiar with LP's issues and I loved the lady I talked to. She let me jabber on and on about what was going on and was not short with me at all:) I really feel like they can get to the bottom of this...sooooo wish us luck!! Thank you again EVERYONE for the awesome suggestions...I appreciate it so much!

I would recommend Veterinary Surgical Specialist ... My vet who I love told me that Rupert my Indi rescue boy had a possible ACL tear or meniscus injury (his leg was making a popping sound when he walked and he was limping) My vet didnt see anything o...See More
Madi M. replied:
Shea Zerkie Bodet yes the one in Tustin it was $70 for a consultation you can take your own X-rays for the initial consultation... They may want to do their own X-rays but that can get pricey because they will want to sedate her ... but even with the X-rays I had Dr. Cambridge knew what was wrong so it may be worth a shot ... I wish I would have skipped the middle man and gone straight to them LOL
Any recommendations for a local inexpensive vet to spay my puppy but still offers great care?
Karen L. replied:
the veterinary care at Paws n Claws has been amazing for 12 years, but had to find another vet when wait times, being rushed and charges went sky high: ( Love Drs. Pyne.

Dr. Riggs at Anaheim Hill Pet Clinic has taken care of my dogs for many years, through 4 dogs and surgeries too. The staff there is very good. I would highly recommend them.
