Internal Medication Question

BRONXBOY Mar 19, 2004 01:28 PM

Hello,

Is there anywhere a regular citizen like myself can buy Flagyl and Panacur? And would anyone know the dosage to give to wild caught lizards that have not been treated for parasites?

Thanks

Couple questions:

1) Why do you want to treat w/o knowing what parasites are in the animal. there isn't a drug out there that will get ALL parasites so treating w/o knowing what you have may just give a false sense of security.

2) Are you sure you know enough 'bout the drugs to use them safely. It would be a shame to kill the lizard to save a few bucks on vet costs.
