    Re: shotgut therapy for w/c garters

    yeah thats bad, bad, bad. Steve is the expert lol go by what he says. Like i said i had no idea if it was safe or not. I havent had to do my snakes yet so this is unchartered territory, but now i know as well. So go with your first thought the panacur, its what steve's vet recommends for his snakes. That is terrible what it can do to them. wow, I know i cant give it to my part border collie female either, as it can be fatal to collie's so i use safeguard wormers on her as well, which looks to be the same as panacur. I love this forum im learning all kinds of things.

    well as compared to lil ol me, yes you are an expert. The day we quit learning on earth is the day we die. No one knows it all but as far as garters go, i think you know quite a bit! Im glad you posted and he looked up the info rather then taking my lame advice.

    As far as vets go, i agree Luke, i sure wish we had a few as well, we do have one that will look at them, but i wasnt too happy with the advice i was given over the phone, without even seeing the snake first.

    Re: shotgut therapy for w/c garters

    well the vet today was a big flop. but i did get the panacur from him he could not give it to my snakes. cuz he did not have a scale that could get the weight of a small snake. so guess i need to get a good scale so i can get it to them. does anyone have any recommendation's?
