Just curious. It was two weeks yesterday since you medicated Eve. Did you have to give her another dose?

It was a three dose regimen. Yesterday was her third and last dose. Each was accomplished via the same method, a small still twitching stunned feeder followed by a dead, larger rat with the meds in it's throat. The small feeder was to whet her appetite and the combined feeders were still smaller than a normal feeder for her size. Was trying to keep her hungry. Now that meds are done, I'll go back to larger meals.

I would be interested to know if that cleared up the problem. I read that it's not that effective if the meds are in a mouse. Made no sense because they mix panacur into dog food for that purpose. If I recall, Jeff stated at one point that he used to inject fenbendazole suspension into rodents he fed to snakes with desired results. Lots of good information on the internet and lots of bad information as well. Please let me know how your next fecal exam checks out. On second thought, let me know how Eve's fecal exam checks out. I don't really care about yours.

Thanks,
Paul
