I found it. but what specifi product? like paste? i cant tell if it's for reptiles?

Fenbendiazole is general dewormer. However, it comes in different concentrations and they need different conversions for reptile dosing. Why do you need a dewormer at this point? Have you performed a fecal? Remember, fenbendiazole does not kill all parasites...

Here is a video Pat Kline did on Internal Parasites, if you suspect your gecko has parasites it needs to have a fecal exam done and needs to be properly medicated.

My leopard gecko has parasite problem, I treated her with reptaid, it didnt work. it's empty. I tried the repti aid the food powder, it didnt work.

She's swollen and skinny and turn on and off eating.How did i know she had parasite? I found worms in her poop. I had thought about taking it to vet and put her down. We couldn't afford treatment...

someone said panacur can help deworm her, I think we can try to treat her with it but we can ask dosage from herp vet. But i need more info and what to find specific panancur that are already used for reptiles/dogs/horse something.

please help me. :/

I would still recommend taking it to get a fecal exam done. For all you know it could have Giardia, Coccidia, or even worse Cryptosporidiosis; none of those are cured by using Panacur. Or what if it needs antibiotics?

Here is a website where you can find conversions and diffrent info about diffrent parasite and what drugs are needed to kill them. USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! Scroll past the Parasite table and right below that you will see the conversion for fenbendiazole in blue. Also remember to give your gecko some sort of probiotic while they are on the medication. I would recommend bene-bac bird gel, you can find it on KV Supply's website as well.

I would still recommend you take it to a vet.

Good Luck.

She can't afford to take it to a vet that's why she is asking about the panacur. Reptaide is NOT a dewormer, I don't know why you thought that would be helpful in clearing the pinworms. Reptaide would be for AFTER the worms are gone and you're trying to help your leo recover from the deworming. Sorry to seem short but I was trying to discuss this with you on your other thread.

My leopard gecko has parasite problem..How did i know she had parasite? I found worms in her poop.

Sorry i didnt catch this in a previous post....You saw worms in her poop??? When fecal exams are done and what is visible in the feces itself are the parasite eggs...And you need a microscope to see them... The worms you say you saw in the poop are probably some sort of white tiny wiggly things which i think are maggots. I have seen them personally sometimes when a gecko spills a water bowl in their tub and i dont catch it on time.

You still do not know what your gecko has and you are just trying to wing it. If you really want to save your pet, you should diagnose the problem. Some vets will do fecal exams for around $20 without "consulting" the patient. That way at least you know what you are dealing with....

 

[fl_orchidslave]

I'm going to be very direct here. If Reptaid from reptaid.com is used correctly the bottle will absolutely not be almost gone from treating one animal. Lack of experience in dealing with parasites and attempting to treat with panacur without a vet consult is irresponsible. Grimmy, you were going to put her to sleep a few days ago. If you want to try to save her, take a poop sample to a herp vet for a fecal test. Get the right stuff the vet mixes with the right dosage instruction based on the type of parasite. Panacur isn't effective for all parasites, and a gecko in poor health can die from treatment if dosage or frequency is not correct.

Let me preface this by saying I have not used, nor recommended reptaid at all. However, with some simple research and a little math, the average joe could potentially give themselves an idea of how much they're supposed to give their animal, according to weight in grams, and according to the instructions on their website.

If you really gave 1ml once daily for 10 days, apparently you really overdosed her, according to the makers of the product. Apparently, it's supposed to be 0.1ml per 100 grams of body weight. Your gecko is what, half that? 50 grams would get 0.05ml, 40 grams would get 0.04ml, which is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to produce on a syringe you get over the counter.

-Panacur bought in feed stores, or other over the counter places is made for horses, not for reptiles.

-Panacur can also be extremely dehydrating and if used incorrectly, can lead to death.

-There's a HUGE difference between 4.0, 0.4, and 0.04. And ultimately, with ANY drug, can prove fatal if you make a mistake, such as this, for example. NOT saying you caused the illness AT ALL, but it doesn't help that you're pulling at straws, trying to dose out medications without the guidance of someone who's got a licence to do it.

And THIS is why I refuse to give out dosages of medications that are supposed to be prescribed by a licenced veterinarian.

"And THIS is why I refuse to give out dosages of medications that are supposed to be prescribed by a licenced veterinarian."

Amen to that.

It's not that expensive to get a fecal done by a vet, and it's not that expensive to get the de-wormer properly dosed for your specific leo from a vet. Hopefully, no matter how many threads you start about this there will always be someone to say this to you.

Get a fecal done by a vet, get the proper dosage of the proper med from the vet, it's not that expensive to do, and when you look back on it, you'll realize that it was the right solution from the beginning.
