Re: [gecko]Pinworms in Leo Gex

[SamRF2003]

Ya i decided not to get a blood sample from my leos today at the vet, rather just give them the oral treatment which worked out to .3 cc's of ivermectin. And i will do that again in 14 days, and once more 14 days after that. Hopefully they'll start feeling better soon. I have just disinfected both their enclosures again, and they seem to be doing fine so far. They were very energetic and alert at the vets today, and the vet was very hopeful about them.
(Fingers crossed)

That will give you more serum to work with - but I still wouldn't want to
stick him! Where would you draw blood from a gecko?
