Wormer

[sparkybeardyandme]

My female beardy izzy recently had worms and has been on panacur and is doing much better. My question is, is there a regular wormer that bearded dragons can go on to prevent any parasites or worms in the future. Like we do for dogs or is there no such thing for reptiles?

I am awaiting the results of her fecal sample so if there is any other parasites they will be treated but I just wondered if there was a preventative treatment available.

Any info greatly appreciated.

Izzy got on fine with panacur. I got the syrup that you syringe feed them. She had her first dose last week and has to have another one two weeks later. I have ordered a probiotic which should be here soon to give here whilst she's on the wormer just to help the bacteria in her stomach level out. She did have a bit of diarrhea the first day afterwards, but was fine after that.

I think it depends on the type of worms or parasites that you are treating as I know that panacur is a relatively mild mediation so doesn't give them many side effects whereas others can be quite harsh on their system and make them feel quite poorly.
