Enteric infections that result in clinical problems are, in general, uncommon. They are usually related to poor husbandry.
Clinical signs include vomiting (grave prognosis) and diarrhoea.
Diagnosis - history, physical examination, faecal cultures, radiology, haematology and biochemistry.
Treatment:
- Symptomatic therapy (e.g. kaolin)
- Increased dietary fibre (bran, hay, alfalfa pellets)
- Oral inoculation of parasite-free faeces from a healthy iguana
- Antibiotics
- Supportive care
