Panacur

Well, as it turns out Lesser had a small case of Round worms. SO... im treating all the snakes with panacur, maybe even the rats if its safe for them. Does anyone know where I can buy it for snakes, or what kind to buy that is safe to use for snakes. I have a scale so I can measure it out correctly. Do I need to delute it? I may travel a few hours and pick up a premade bottle from a vet that I have gotten it from before, but if there is another way please tell! I will also need help with finding out how much to give to each snake, i'll post their weights as soon as I find this stuff out.

Edit: travel only if the vet will give me enough for all my snakes

What about Dr. C? Or Dr. Brad Wilson?

Why didn't Dr. C prescribe Panacur for you? I've had no problems getting medication that I need from him.

I asked if he had a bottle I could take home and he said all he has is cattle Panacur, and that he would have to dilute it. I was fine with that but he didn't. What im going to do is call tomorrow and ask if I can bring them all up to get the same shot lesser did.

I would call Dr. Brad Wilson's office then, tell them that you had a positive fecal test done at Town & Country and see if he'll prescribe for you - since all he works with are exotics.

Are you holding back on me! *sniff* I get it... I talk to you to much at work that you need a break after:tears: ahhh ha found it

Nah - you figured it out!

well im dumb to this so i guess i would say/ask how did you find out the snake had worms? and can you see it in there bowell movement or is it only seen through some sort of test. i have a few snakes a couple i just recieved but as far as the one i have it was taken to the vet for an exam and was said to be very healthy but no sort of scans or test were done so now im wondering so that maybe i can watch out more closely to its movements or should i have some sort of test done on them.

You take their poop into a exotic vet and they will do a fecal float and then look at it under a microscope to see if there's anything going on with it.

Update: I went to my vet and got enough panacur for my dogs and then some for my snakes. All snakes have been treated ( the new ones too, just in case, it wont hurt them) and in two weeks i'll treat them again:)
