I think my 4 year old male southern hog has internal parasites.
Its has eaten toads for 4 years now and 2 of the last three he ate he regurgitated. He has lost weight now and will go on his no eating cycle from November to March so I need to get this taken care of soon.
How is the best way to treat this?
Thanks

Take it to a herp vet and get it treated.

They need a stool sample to figure out which medicine or medicines he needs. (Different drugs for different bugs.) And they'll need to weigh him to figure out the correct dosage if you've never been there. Once you're in the system, though, you can genrally just pay $20 or so for the stool test, tell them how many grams the snake weighs, and they'll just give you the meds and directions without even having to drag the snake in there. Either way, it'll end up being you, his throat, and a plastic syringe. Not fun, but if you gotta do it you gotta do it. Most likely they'll prescribe either Panacur and/or Flagyl, depending on what they find.
