Reptile & Amphibian Forums

First off is the right worm guard a product of NATURE ZONE? Secondly has anyone in this forum used it? Tried giving it to pogo through a eyedropper and he didn't want anything to do with it..For those of you who have followed my post I have a feeling pogo is stressed and he has a vet appointment next week so I don't want to force meds on him and make things worst!! How can I get him to take this without forcing his mouth open and if I do have to end up forcing how do I go about getting his mouth open and not hurt him??? Thanks

I've heard of it, but I use Parazap. Is it made the same way? Do you make a tea? If so, you might try using flavored Gatorade or Pedialyte or juice.

To adminster meds, you need to pull the dragons bottom lip down near the rear of his mouth. You can do this with one finger or a thumb, depends on how you are holding him. When the lip is down, insert the syringe.

Yes, like Christy said it is made like Parazap with like ingredients. Gatorade would be great to mix it with to give it a better taste, or you know how you've been feeding him with the dropper, ad it in with the food mixture. Pulling down the back of the lip, and dripping some in will most likely trigger a licking response. Natures zone is the maker. You bought the right one. These are natural ingredients, and none that will be hard on the system. Won't interact with any meds you might have to give after the vet visit. Reiko also uses this brand and if I'm correct she does it the gatorade way, But if he will only take it down with the food that would work as well. Good luck
