Wormcount results...

becciwales · 02-05-2014, 04:51 PM

Hi, could you please advise on these results.

Darwin:
Oxyurids: 200epg (Previously it was 60epg around October time I think)
Tachygonetria: <20epg
Tape worm: none seen
Protazoans: none seen

Archimedes:
Oxyurids: <20epg
Tachygonetria: <20epg
Tape worm: none seen
Protazoans: none seen

Still waiting for my little one to poop in the bath or see her pooping in the enclosure so I know it's definitely hers.

Hi Becci, sorry I hadn't seen this in the new posts until now. Archimedes is certainly fine but Darwin seems to have a moderate amount of eggs seen under the microscope. I'm not sure at what age/weight you can start to worm, so that is worth checking, but Panacur is so easy to use, so don't worry.
How much does Darwin weigh?

Thank you. Darwin is 129g x

How do I know how much to give please x
I was advised to get it from pets at home. Is there a specific thing to ask for?
Thanks in advance xx

I agree with Emma one of Darwins seems a little high.
If you look on the worm count results, they give you a key underneath your results showing you what is a low to high result.
Which Panacur have you got. I use the liquid small animal 10% , the dose for this is 0.05 /0.1ml per 100 grm , so you would need a 1ml syringe for this. But I'm not sure at what age or weight you can start doing this, if in doubt ask a vet, or Danny.

Becci,

I wormed a couple of juveniles that my daughter bought for me over the internet a couple of years ago, they weighed 60gr at the time. You could see the worms in there poo so heavily infested.
I use the 18.75% Panacur from Pets at home, you need to tell them it's for a dog and they need the weight of the dog before they sell it to you. I don't know off the top of my head what amount it was, but there used to be a chart on internet for this. Saves a lot of money than going to a vets.

Becci,

Go to totally tortoise there is a Panacur calculator on there for 10% and 5% Panacur. You just type in the weight and it tells you how much.

Thanks all, Andy, thank you, I found that last night when I was looking around. I'll go to pets at home today. x

Would you suggest putting them on newspaper?
Leave them on paper for a month? Or just for a few days after the first dose?
Do I need to do a re-test after 2 doses?
Thanks in advance xx
