Well, to make a long story short, I noticed my 5 y/o Beardie Reka making a noise that she wasn't supposed to make, so I took her to the vet on Tuesday (I thought RI, but apparently not). He kept her for the day to observe her, and while she was there he gave her a fecal. Apparently she has some kind of a parasite (if I were the one who picked up the medicine, I would have asked what it was, but my mom went to get it). So he gave us a topical medicine to apply to her belly once a week for the next four weeks.

Now, Reka is acting perfectly normal and has kept her appetite and everything (she had a belly full of crickets the day she went to the vet, so nothing wrong with her lust for food!) The only symptom that I ever saw was her 'coughing' or whatever.

My question is, because she has this topical medicine (it was almost like lotion?) on her stomach.. should I soak her? I would assume not, because it might wash the medicine off, but I was just going to see if any of you knew for sure.
