Reptaid Discussion

[Lk4sturns]

Wow been down that road more than few times. You do everything and more good amount of times it works. Also like try natural to help them over chemical why like Reptaid, but note it not cure all. Work pretty good for worms and overall health. There are couple similar products out there and are half price but after my research felt it worth(yeah make you over pay for better) it .Only thing suggest is try spend some time or more out cage . I had some that like to hang out so much I use heat pad (8 or 16 watt) with towel over it so they stay warm with me for hour or more. On days in summer when over 80 or 85 I had some used to take around with me in my car depending were I was going and also after poo that day so no accidents take out side cage,(most mine went in morning or night).

Best Regard's

I wish it was like that for boss i am having a hard time with her. 8 days in and she still wont eat much besides greens. but more active and relaxed. I hope her worm problem is getting resolved.

 

[bdalton]

Im sorry to hear that ...dont give up though! Are you planning on doing the full course? (10 days on, 2 days off, another 10 days on?) I definetly would. Lola wasnt really sick or had parasites, so that may be why Boss is taking longer. Maybe she just really wasnt feeling well and is slowly starting to feel better? I wouldnt get discouraged yet, this stuff is really great. And some days Lo has a bigger appetite than others. I would keep at it, and I was offering her a bunch of different "bugs" everyday and she would turn her nose up at some and gobble down others, so maybe try a couple different feeders if you have them to see if she wants something else. Lo's favorite are dubia roaches, she can almost never turn them down! Hopefully you can find something Boss is like that with! Good Luck!!!!

Would reptaid be ok to run with a course of nystatin? Only reason I'm asking is I read it shouldn't be used with any medications but I'm guessing that's just to cover there arse.

I would call Elliott about that.

I am currently treating my dragon for coccidia and hookworms with albon and panacur. Can I give him reptaid during this treatment without harming/overmedicating him?

 

[Valerie]

If I remember right, Elliott said not to do the two at the same time. I would do the probiotics after this first treatment.

 

[ncsweetpea]

I would use Reptaid and follow this link for administering the dossage. http://www.reptaid.com/reptaidadministerbeardeds.htm I am always willing to try new things in helping my beardie. Anything that would save me a large Reptile Vet bill because where I live there are none. I have to travel over an hour to get to a decent reptile vet and then the charges can be expensive. I have noticed there are many things I can try AT HOME as long as I have the proper dosages down pat. I always make sure I read, read, read before I attempt to medicate my beardie. Also, one must be very careful when mixing different brands, etc so they don't react with one another in a harmful manner.

Wish I could found out about this yesterday

 

[nicksmom]

How longer after finishing albon and panacur can I start using Reptaid?

 

[Valerie]

If I am correct, right afterwards, if you want you can wait a day but I am not sure you need to.

 

[Claudiusx]

I haven't seen any "official" word on it, but I personally would wait a week+.

Albon and Panacur are pretty tough on the system, and reptaid isn't as easy on the system as its made out to be either. So IMO would be best to give the dragon a bit of time to be off harsh medicines.

That is a good idea or call Elliott and he could tell you. I want to ask why are you putting your bd on reptaid after the albon and panacur?
