dragon has pinworms

zeeker13 Aug 21, 2003 12:03 PM

My female dragon Della didn't go poo for like days and when she finally did I gave it to the vet to have a fecal done. I talked to the vet today and she said that Della has pinworms. She recomended panacure. I also have a male dragon(drake). The vet said she might show signs of weight loss, he is actually skinnier then her. Should I have him taken in to? they live in separate enclosures, but eat from the same food sources. Also what about panacure, does this seem like correct treatment? I just wanted to ask, I'm kinda new to dragons and I have never been to this vet before. Thanks so much for your replies, I have to decide what to do today.

you might as well have the other tested as well so that they can be treated at the same time if the other does have them, and yes panacure is fine for what she said they had.
