Re: [gecko]Pinworms in Leo Gex

Hi all,

Barbie: No the vet never asked for a blood sample. All he simply did was give me the IVERMEC. I wasn't too into them having a blood sample done anyway in the beginning. I doubt any result would have come out of it.

Chris: I shall definently ask them about PINACUR. But ya since i have already started with the treatments I guess i should finish up with it. It works out to only a few drops of this med also though. But thanks for all that info. Very appreciated.

Catriona: That's what the vet said too, to try and get another sample of feces and bring it in, as the pinworms may not be the real reason as to why these leos are sick. But that treatment for the pinworms should be done anyway, now that we know it is present and seems to be doing harm. So pinworms don't cause diarrhea? hmm, that's good info that will be useful to me.

I never had a prob with parasites. then i bought this adult patternless leo (the sick female now), who had a skinny tail but a not so bad body. Stupid me i did not quarantine it, and placed it in with another female and that's how this all began. Now both of these are sick, I guess she was so weak that the parasites took over.
Resulting in me stressing out over this for a couple months now.
