I've had a female for a while that came in with a sick male that passed away from what looked and sounded like a real bad respiratory infection and parasites. She looked healthy enough, fatter tail, and ate the first day I got her, but It's been about 2 months now and she hasn't eaten. I've goven her respiratory infection medication for 6 days now, so I know that's not the problem, I've fed her a slurry of mashed worms, water, and calcium to get her appetite and nothing.

I just got her on JumpStart worried that she's losing too many calories and vitamins, and she had diarrhea. I took the opportunity to do a Fecal Float Test to see if I could find anything, and here are the results:

Anybody know which parasites these are and and if I could buy any over the counter de-wormers anywhere for reptiles?
