The vet prescribed Panacur and Bactrim to treat the problem. Both had to be taken orally and dosages were carefully monitored. Bactrim was an every other day treatment and Panacur was a two time treatment (one in the beginning and the second about 15 days later). As per the vet some of the critters can only be killed at a certain life stage so the lengthy treatment schedule was to be sure we got everything, otherwise, the problem would reoccur. Injecting the F/T pinks and allowing the snake to eat normally, kept it hungry enough to eat every other day, was easy on the digestive system, and elimated the stress of forcing the drugs in the snake while providing regular fecal samples for testing.
