Don,
It seems the vet has praziquantel,
but it's
in a pill with pyrantel for nematodes.
He's worried we'd have to heavily overdose the
pyrantel in order to administer enough praziquantel.

Hi Don,
Thanks for the info. They were looking under the Droncit name.
Cestodes were confirmed on a fecal. The gecko is acting odd (see
earlier U. guentheri posts).
Any idea about how much coenzyme Q10 to give a gecko weighing
less than 10grams?
The dose I have for Droncit is 5-10mg/kg, depending on the source.
The vet gave me a higher dose of 20-30mg/kg, I have a feeling
they're referring to older literature.

Hi Again Neil,
My vet also does does cats/dogs, they've called other clinics
as well and haven't found anything. Sometimes the staff
gets confused if it goes under a different trade name.
>>>>>>>>>
Praziquantel is the name of the drug and not a brand name to the best of my knowledge. Droncit is the commonly used form for cats and dogs and just about any vet has it. I just dont like this drug as it is easily over dosed in small animals.
