Hello

Hello,

It isn't recommended to use Panacur just because of runny stools.
You really should get a fecal done to determine if he has worms or parasites. The panacur is used for worms, not coccidia, which is a parasite.
So it is best not to self treat until you know what exactly it is you could be treating.
Was that the first time you had fed supers to him? Were they too large?
What are his temps, are they warm enough for him to digest? Do you have an undertank heater as well as an overhead light for him too?
His temps should run from 85-90 or so. They tend to do better with some heat, & if they are too cold they can't digest properly.
If you get a fecal done, & they give you meds, depending on what it is, usually you can do just a 1 cycle medication without having to go back in. The times you need to go back in for a recheck is when the counts are high & she is very infested, so they can check to make sure counts have gone down. Most vets, simply will not just give out meds without seeing your gecko to do a fecal, because that wouldn't be safe. Unless you are a tech, or have a good repoire with your vet & are an experienced keeper, will some call in prescriptions for you to go pick up.
