Hi there!
My tortoise, Walter, has had parasites for the last three weeks. He's been on antibiotics ever since he was diagnosed by a specialized exotic veterinarian, roughly three weeks ago. He's had five days of Flagyl and two days of Panacur. Last Monday I still noticed he pooped out worms, so I went back for another dose of Panacur.
He's currently in a plastic tub with paper towels (because he's being quarantined) and has been frantically trying to get out for the last couple of days. It's painful to see him this distressed. He had medicine on Monday, and today's the first day all worms in his poop are dead. Can I put him back in his cleaned enclosure? Or should I wait longer? My vet said 3 days would be enough.
He's getting his final dose of Panacur on Monday October 18th. Do I need to wait till then?
His main enclosure has been properly cleaned and has new substrate.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks in advance
