BLUE TONGUE SKINKS

Just an FYI for the general forum and BTS website:
Chuff Chuff had two types of internal parasite, Hookworms, and a nemetode called oxyurates. I couldn't find anything online about oxyurates, other than that they are a type of microscopic nemetode worm.
Panacur was prescribed to get rid of Chuff's parasites, and it was successful!
Apparently Panacur is effective against various nemetodes.
Anyway, Chuff has a clean bill of health now!

I routinely dose my blueys with Panacur.

I was given a large supply from a vet.

What doseage do you use Geoff? I've heard conflicting information about how much to use and at what dilution for preventative measures.

Panacur doseage....

0.5 ml per kilogram. treat every 6 - 12 mths.

For a known parasite problem.....

Treat once daily for 5 days then repeat in 2 weeks.

I love meraukes salmon pink noses

I gave Chuff 0.28 ml 1x/day for 3 days on, then 10 days off, then again for 3 days on, 10 day s off, and the last time 3 days on, then he was done. It seemed to have done the trick, but I'm 98% sure that he was a wild caught pet store Merauke that I eventually ended up rescuing. Here in the states, I doubt there'll be much need to keep him on a preventative regime, unless I let him eat dog poop or other unsavory items!

We do have ticks here, but, Thank the Gods, not the evil deadly disgusting ones you guys have in Oz.

Unsavory items.
