    Re: Worms

    He had his vet appointment yesterday. Turns out he has a tape worm. He got 2 injections and has to go back in 2 weeks for a follow up. Otherwise he was in great shape. Weighed in at 508 grams.

    After getting his shots he was not to excited!

    Google for a Vet or lab to send the sample to. Heck, a dog an cat Vet can test it also.

    Good luck!
    I took his poo to the vet before his appointment and they analyzed it before I came in.

    Great job! You're a very good snarent!

    Glad to know for sure there's an injectable treatment for snakes now too...I thought so but wasn't sure. (I had good reason to use oral meds for w/c in the past anyway...it's not fun giving an injection to a rattlesnake, lol)

    Especially since they can give injections back.
