Hi! Really like the new forum set-up! My beardie is appx 8 months old, and all has been going well. Did have a small problem with constipation, which is now resolving hopefully, but decided to take him in to our local reptile vet anyway since I have not done this yet. Basically got a good check-up but he did have parasites, coccida, and something else (I forgot), vet said nothing too serious and quite common. Prescibed Pancur .25cc 1x week for 3 weeks, and .25cc smz/tmp, 1x per day for 10 days. He did the 1st doses in the office by putting a long syringe right down in the lizards stomach. Now my question/problem is that I don't think I can do this as I am too afraid and squeamish!! And he said if I miss the stomach and get it into his lungs, I can kill the lizard!! Is there any other way I can safely and effectively administer these meds. Maybe in food, or just put it in his mouth?? Certainly appreciative of any imput anyone has on this matter!! Thanks so much!
... They gave me some Meds (I cant remeber their name) and they made me Inject him! But I couldnt handle it! So they said I could administer them orally using the syringe. Phone them and expain your worries and they will more than likely say to give him them orally. They may even get you to take him in for them to give him them
