That was the first good response on this topic I have seen. I work at a vet that sees reptiles as I posted down at zachs original post, and we regularly see problems with parasites.... Especially oxyurid (pinworms) in stressed animals and we do treat with the 100mg/ml panacur suspension.

It seems like a lot of people here are ignoring that fact that parasites can be a bad thing just bc they have animals that they fed lizards to that lived asymptomatic. The big picture is that parasites are real and while in the wild an animal may never have a chance to reingest parasite ova, in a cage they can and this can mean a pretty heavy burden on the animal.

What brand is your scope? I have a NIKON stereoscopic scope and a zeiss zoom scope that goes up to oil immersion.

Do you make your own fecasol? Float it or centrifuge it?
