That’s a bit strange, I thought that if you wanted to interrupt the parasites (nematodes) life cycle you would want to offer the fenbendazole (AKA Safe-Guard or Panacur) at least once a week for three weeks. I give all my WC imports fenbendazole once every five days three times for a total of fifteen days with great success.
Thanks

Sometimes vets who do not see many reptiles will perscribe Panacur to be administered once every other week. This is sometimes not enough to get rid of your nematode parasites.
I would bring this to your vets attention, if he is skeptical then ask him to post on the VIN.com message boards (if he is a member), or show him the dosing in a well respected reptile book such as "Understanding Reptile Parasites" by Klingenberg.

Right now, experimentation is just fine with me (I'm a trained zoologist so have a bit of background myself). Our exotics vet does have experience with "exotics", but she certainly isn't a reptile specialist, may have explained some of her recomendations. I'll keep y'all posted.
