not too long after reading the last shell rot post, i became worried that mine had shell rot as well. Today i took him to the vet, and he actually is going thru shell rot. moreover the vet checked the poop for parasites and it turned out that he also has hookworms. the vet also told me that his white cell count is up. vet gave him a deworm, which did not take too long for him to poop out. I was actually able to see the worms in the poop. i was also given prescription for novalson for the shell rot which I am suppose to apply for the next 21 days. i am worried about a antibiotic shot that he was given for the blood, i have to give the next six shots myself once every three days. i am really scared. other than that he is behaving normal. has anyone had similar experience?
