Hi, monday, I brought Vulkan to the vet, she checked him out as healthy and inshape, but says he probably has pinworms or something similar, and have me a .08 mL dose of panacur. He wieghs I think 2 kilograms? Does that sound right for a around 12 inch long Beardie? She did't measure him in grams as the number on the scale was 2. Do you think this is a safe dose, and do you have any other suggestions? Thanks!

Hello,
No that doesn't sound right. At 2 kilograms, he weighs 4.5 pounds which I highly doubt.
If he was not weighed in grams, it was most likely ounces. Can you post a picture of him? I will help you dose him, but at 12 inches, it is highly unlikely it was kilograms, because that is alot of weight!
At 2 ounces, he weighs .05 kilograms which sounds more reasonable to me.
I can redose it for you if you want. At 2 ounces it would be .03 dosed at 50mg/kg of bodyweight. So I think the dose is a little high for him.
Maybe you should call the vet to ask what the weight was to doublecheck it.

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
