    Not that easy. Is it worms or protozoa?
    They have different treatments.

    Do they know how to use a microscope and do they know the differences between protozoans and worms? And if so, which drug to use on which parasite? If the answer is no, then they need to go back to vet school.

    No, there is metronidazole for protozoans and fenbendazole for worms, but there is no drug that I am aware of that kills both.

    Could I treat everything? Like first treat for parasites, then worms, then whatever is left to treat? Or would this harm my toad?

    The protocol my vet uses is treat for prototozoa first, wait about a week then treat for worms. It's not a good idea to hit the frog with both drugs at the same time. It's just too much for their systems to handle all at once.
