Sav Update
Thought I would let everyone know-the new guy went to the vet today. He has (as expected) parasites, but the vet gave him a dewormer, so hopefully that gets cleared up. He has 2 more doses to go. As far as the tail goes, he decided to take a wait and see approach, since its looking a little better, and told me to call him if it gets any worse.
So, all's well (or getting there) and he's well on the road to being healthy. He eats like a hog, too, so between that and getting rid of the worms he should start packing some weight back on.
I feel so much better now, lol. Thanks to everyone who helped me out when i was freaking out over him. You guys are the best.  |

Re: Sav Update
Tapeworms, and Panacur wormer. I've got the other two doses with me, but I'm a bit up in the air about whether I want to try giving it myself. Kinda worried about doing something wrong. I've never had to worm a reptile before.

Is it oral medication? You may need someone to help you when you give it to the monitor. I have squirted medication it in a mouse and fed the mouse to the monitor. I don't know if it what you need to do though.
I am sure it will be happy and healthy soon. You really seem to care about it.

Re: Sav Update
when i had a bout of mouth rot with my tegu, i was instructed to swab out his mouth with a betadyne solution. it was impossible to get him to keep his mouth open. the only thing that worked was to put a small amount of scent on the end of a syringe. be it egg or whatever. he would bite the syringe, thus opening his mouth for easy access |

Re: Sav Update
Panacur as far as I know won't get rid of tapeworms... I could be wrong...
but it should be something along the lines of Droncit instead.. it gets rid of tapeworms and roundworms with only like, 2 doses with the second dose being in 2 weeks.
