Worms!Help

[bikerchicspain]

My poor old henry has not eaten properly for a few weeks now, I know he had worms and he was wormed with Milbemax which has praziquantel and Milbemycin oxime,
What else can be done?
Should i seperate him even if it means brining him indoors,
By the way henry is about 60yrs old and hes a spur thigh.
Thanks guys

Hi Yvonne:

What we usually de-worm with here in the States is Panacur (fenbendazole). Some folks only de-worm when a stool sample shows worm eggs, some folks de-worm twice a year on a regular basis.

Unless Henry is being bullied, I see no reason to separate him, unless you feel that he'd feel better alone.

A sick tortoise sometimes feels better when allowed to sit in a tub a water for a spell.

Sorry about putting it in the wrong area, i was doing it rushed at work,
Anyway i thought about moving Henry because i am not sure how much he eats and that way i could control it better.
I did try and worm him with Panacur but it didnt seem to do alot, He is still loosing weight and im not sure if its because of the heat as its still around 38ºC here..
