I'm currently treating both Sunny and Draco for pinworms, and my vet has them on 0.1 mL of Pancur/day for days 1-4 and 10-13 of the treatment. I read on this forum that Pancur tends to kill off the beneficial flora and fauna of the lizards' small intestine, and that a case of yellow fungus disease can possibly follow a de-worming.
After doing some research on this forum, the best thing to do seemed to give them Acidophilus, which would help replenish the beneficial bacteria in their gut. I bought Acidophilus pills (powder in a gel capsule) that contained no milk, eggs, silica, etc. and some canned pumpkin, which someone posted here that he used to mix the Acidophilus into when giving it to the dragons.
My question is how much Acidophilus powder should I add per teaspoon (or mL or ounce or whatever unit of measurement) of canned pumpkin (or baby food or whatever I'm supposed to use), and how much/how often I should give the mixture to the lizards?
