Re: Poo Questions?
Well, just got back from the vet visit with Orion. The doc didn't seem too worried about the hookworms and treated him with 10 mg of Panacur with a re-treatment in 2 weeks. He said this should take care of both the hookworms and the strongyloides, but if it isn't enough to eradicate then Ivermactin may be needed.
He suggested I use reptile food from Mazuri instead of night crawlers and crickets. I guess it's something like pacman food from Samurai? I don't know. He also suggested to stop feeding him night crawlers from a bait place (I buy nightcrawlers from either Wal-Mart or Petco, but they are both from a bait supply place). He said bait suppliers can be high in parasitic feeders. Eliminating bait will be a huge challenge since just about any nightcrawler you find for sale will be for bait.
Otherwise Orion is in great shape. He even weighed an even 100 grams.
Hopefully the Panacur will do the trick!
