Vet Visit

Wow...I am going broke. I could really use a job.. Anyhow, Bam Bam weighed in at a whopping 22.9 grams with Pebbles in a distant 2nd place at 10.8 grams. Wow. Bam Bam's toe seems to be healing nicely and the nail is barely starting to grow back. Pebbles maybe had some shedding problems or may have a skin infection. Pebbles is on one drop of medicine a day and 5 drops of calcium a day plus a dilluted betadine solution soak twice a day. The vet also thought they might have parasites...and wants me to bring in stool samples. I'd like to get around that if I can because the vet bills are just too much. You guys have mentioned ummm parazap I think before. Could I just use that or should I be sure they even have parasites first? Thanks guys...pictures soon

Glad they are both fine, as far as parisites, thats comepletely up to you, what you want to do. I purchased Parazap and have talked aboutit before, I use it on most new lizards just to be sure, its just herbs, but it works and I like it ! Eve

How much is it? Is it just something that you put on their food, like calcium, or what?

Type in parazap,in search engine and read about it ! It is easy !
and it stimulates their appetites also if they have had parisites Eve
