worms/parasites

[Pepper]

It's not about my Leo, it's about my Fire skink, but technically, reptile worm/parasites.

As some of you know, I really have been on the edge of whether or not he was going to live or not..He ate a few days ago surprisingly, 2 large crickets dusted with calcium D3. Well I just found a poo in his tank, it seemed pretty solid not diarrhea like, but I thought I should look at it under a magnifying glass.

I'm not sure if the 2 things I saw were worms/parasites or not, but I'm guessing he is probably wild caught and riddled with them, and probably has been all along.

We have NO herp vets here in Fairbanks, Alaska.

So does anyone know any medication sold online that is a reptile de-wormer or parasite remover...

I found this but I don't know if it would work or not..

My leo was treated with Panacur, dosn't kill all but worked for me.

Panacur
The way to calculate dosages is:

dose x weight divided by concentration

The correct dosage for Panacur is 25 miligrams per kilogram of body weight.
1 kilogram = 1000 grams.
So, let's say a gecko weighs 50 grams. 50 grams = 0.05 kilograms.
25 mg (dose) X 0.05 kg (weight) = 1.25 mg
1.25 mg divided by 10% (concentration) = 0.125 cc weekly
Thanks to mogl for how to work out dosage
