Hi Friends.
My juvenile Ibera was recently constipated and ill. He's better now, but fecal showed pinworms (greater than 30/hpf).
I know treatment is advocated by some and considered unnecessary by some. I'm still weighing the options.
If anyone has some experience, can you tell me the following:
1. Has anyone ever heard of reptile to human transmission? I stress hand washing like a crazy woman, but I have 2 young sons who help in our tort care. Hand washing and teeth brushing are questionable some days.
2. How do I treat the other torts on my enclosure? Must each baby (I have 5 total) be seen by the vet at $200 each? I keep meticulous records of weight and growth for each tort. Can I buy the panacur and dose with weight?
3. Is putting the Med in a strawberry the favorite method? My torts are still very small (50-150 grams). I doubt I can open their tiny mouths.
Thank you so much for any shared thoughts/insight/experience.
