Re: Uromastyx has worms, please help
He'll probably have to be treated again. I would switch him into another cage, and completely clean and sterilize everything from his original cage (make sure the temporary housing has been completely sterilized, as well). Keep him on paper towel or newspaper until he is well again. Parasites can live for along time in certain substrates, so you need to make sure everything is clean.
Also, if you have other animals near him, you might want to have them checked and disinfect their cages, as well. Hope this helps.
