Hi all, I've had my Russian tortoise fecal sample back and it's showing a high load ( over 740 eggs per gram) of hookworm eggs.

He is clear of all other worms. Should I treat him with a wormer? Panacur? I have a local vets but they are not knowledgeable in exotics. Any advice please? I don't want to do more harm if it's a normal sounding load.

Thanks.
