Panacur and Flagyy and Albon in Canada?

[MikeYPG]

Hello, I need Panacur Flagyl and Albon to treat reptiles parasites in Canada, but can't find them for sale even though I have been told by zoos that they don't require a prescription and can be bought at farm supply stores. Only thing is I want ones specifically formulated and to be used for reptiles.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Also what are the dosages per gram of weight?

Anyone? please I want to eliminate these parasites

Well, they CAN be bought, esp. Panacur and Albon, at least here in the US. I believe Flagyl needs a prescription.

Panacur is a brand name for Fenbendazole, and Albon is sulfadimethoxine.

The problem is, you can find it in different formulations and strength. The experts know how to convert a certain formulation to be used in reptiles.
I used to use all of these, BUT I got them from my Vet.

I don't believe in dosing without a actual diagnosis.

I know, wild caughts used to be dosed with everything (just in case) but no-one really cared if some were lost, because there were hundreds.

Certain medicines should only be given to well hydrated animals, the formulation and % (also per weight and / or species) need to be correct. They are all for different problems, too, do you know which issues you will be treating?

I know this is not the kind of help you are looking for, but unless you have absolutely no way to get to a vet because there are none at all where you live, I would never just treat "blindly".

This is a must have that will answer all your question on parasites, parasite treatment and dosage https://www.amazon.com/Understanding...tile+parasites

Great book I recommend it.

And of course generally speaking once a vet diagnose the type of parasite you are dealing with and which parasite treatment will be the most effective they will also tell you the dosage.

Its also quite fascinating to learn to use your own microscope to find issues. You can use it for all animals (and other things)

You have to learn how to prepare and read fecals, though, which "can be fun"

Here's the deal, a vet has taken 2 fecal samples and diagnosed hookworms, strongyloides and isospora/coccidoa, but wont do ANYTHING about it! She wants to wait and basically only treat when and if he goes into a downward spiral and his health is in serious jeopardy. It's lunatic mode! Why not treat him not when he's still eating well and it's easier to give him dosages?

None of the vets in the area will prescribe without seeing him and I've already spent 300-400$ to have a vet diagnose the parasites and end up refusing to do treatments.

So, I need to find these drugs myself and do it myself. Also she wont tell my dosages or treatment regiments or intervals between treatments to end the parasites life cycles in his enclosure so I need to find all that info myself and do the treatments myself

Thanks for the book I will get a copy and use the information from there. But I still need to know if I can have Panacur and Albon shipped into Canada? I am desperate to treat for these parasites and rid him and his environment of them before it becomes a serious health issue.

Sorry mods, 2nd instance of double posting in this thread. I am sorry I just have an issue about correcting my spelling/wording mistakes plus I am wound up as heck about this situation lol

they're all sold in high concentrations right? How would I dilute them for use with reptiles?


Is there a certain solution I'd need to buy? Or does plain old water work for dilution? and if I can't buy the book Debmentioned right now, where can I find the dosages and treatment times as well as the proper intervals between treatments?


Does anyone know if there a re resources where I can see the life cycle times of the parasites so I can do one treatment to eliminate them internally and a 2nd treatment to ensure they don't reinfect him from his enclosure?
