I am currently giving a post operation veiled cham several medications perscribed by my vet. They are: a de-wormer for possible parasites, an anti-biotic, a pain killer, and a liquid calcium supplement. My question is, are these medications, namely the anti-biotic, able to be used on other herps? I dont know the exact name of the anti-biotic off hand, but I am wondering if I could use it on a leopard gecko and possibly a white's treefrog in the future if any trouble arises. I know that the dosages would vary from animal to animal depnding on the size, but are there different anti-biotics perscribed to different species of herps? I was told I can use the de-wormer on all the animals, and the anti-biotic is a creamy pink liquid, if that makes any difference. Thanks very much in advance.

Different herps respond to the same antibiotic in different ways. A med that is perfectly safe and effective on one animal may kill another one. If you don't know for sure, don't try it.
