Well my male seems to have lost is Appetite he hasn't eatten for two days so I'll be getting all four fecal samples to see if they have any worms. One questions I know panacur is for nematoads but is that the only thinsg that should be used to treat them is it an injection does it take more than one does? Anything that I should have noted as far as not having it be used on my leos and what other common parasites should I be aware of and what should they be treated with.
Thanks

In the absence of other a symptoms, an adult fully grown gecko not eating for two days is not unusual, and does not bneccessarily indicate illness. But if you have never gotten a fecal before it is not a bad idea. But also not strictly neccessary if the only symptoom is not eating for just two days.

Panacur is administered orally, via oral syringe, not by injection, and yes it needs to be gicen more than onnce, generally you give a second dose a week later and sometimes a third a week after that. Has to due with the parasite lifecyle.

Flagyl is given for many protozoans, and different antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections.

Thanks
Well I myself haven't seen him eat for 5 days but I document what I put in so now that other than the last two days he has eatten but it has been less. He would eat infront of me and stoppeed but always intresting and seeing the world outside his cage so that made it hard too. Anyways I feel weird and I do need to take them in just so I know
