| I let Argo (my roughneck monitor) soak/go to the bathroom, in a tub of warm water. He let out a long, and still living, tapeworm. Flat, ribbed and still moving. He tried to let out another one, but it slithered back in before I could grab it.
Aside from a vet (which one in Richmond?) what meds does he need? My vet at Cardinal Animal Hospital (Dr. Joann...something) retired.
Suggestions, advice? | |

| Panacur, you can get it tractor supply. You can get it in the dog/cat section or the horse section and give to weight (it will be a very small amount). I have used it many times and it's the same wormer that vets used, but you'll only pay about 14.00 for it at TS.
The generic name is Fenbendazole | |

| You can find out online how to use dog dewormer powder packs. I have the concentration formula for ball pythons. The dog dewormer is also fenbendazole (panacur). You might want to treat with Flagyl too. | |

| You can also get panacur already mixed and diluted for reptiles online. | |

| All set, got panacure and doxcin (sp I'm sure) from a vet. We're good to go. Thx for the help gang! | |
