Frankly guys,
I don't give a hoot if I screw up following your
directions. I'm sure as hell not gonna sue anyone. You
guys, please offer any advice you may have. This isn't
a political debate over saving some animals or getting
sued, because you shouldn't be worried about getting
sued by me.
Assar,
The Panacur (fenbendazole) is coming as a 25 gram 10%
paste. What exactly does that mean? Anyways, I am
having a friend of a friend who has been working w/
reptiles for a looong time teach me how to correctly
worm them next week.
