Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Yes, I just looked and I can't find my book,. but I found the parasite identification sheet from him, and your right. Thats what it says.
It's wrong. Trust me, it is. And Flagyl can be dangerous. Do you have your book in front of you? What year was it written?

Okay, found a date on my chart~ it was in 95. My other book "Whats wrong with my snake" by John Rossi DVM is only one year newer (96) but it contains the same info I have been told by both RDR and NERD when I asked them ( I asked about BPs, but the general dose would be similair) This book says :
60-125 mg/kg by mouth~ repeat in two weeks
NERD and RDR said 100-125 mg/kg by mouth repeat in two weeks, and again in two more weeks. This has worked find for me.

The date on the chart is on the back page on the copy right. Both Klingenberg and Rossi say to use Albon for 5 to 7 days~ but Klingenberg says at 50 mg/kg for 5 days, then as needed. Rossi says 90 mg/kg first day, then 45 mg/kg for 4 days. I've never used Albon.
You are the only person I have ever heard of using Flagyl in that king of a dose~ I suppose if it works for you good~ but the reason given (Killing different life cycles) is valid~ so you may want to stop recomending such a high dose to others.
Just my opinion. I suppose your dose is lower~ just given so much more often it would have to build up some. To each his/her own

thats cool, I own the same book (Which is driving me crazy because I can't find it right now!) and chart and I never even realized it had a different dose for Flagyl than the Rossi book does. I know what has worked for me and what I've been told. Thats why I thought you must have confused your dosing with the Albon, cuz it was the only one I knew of that you dosed daily.
When I dose panacur and flagyl I mix my suspensions for both. I also mix pedalyte and some chicken or veal baby food. I load one oral syringe with the weight appropriate dose for the meds and about 3-5cc of the thin meat. (I mean I use 3 syringes, one with each med and one with the meat) I run the feeding tube down the snake and then give the Flagyl, followed by the panacur, followed by the meat solution. That makes sure to flush out anyleft over panacur out of the feeding tube and gets a little calories in with the meds. Then I repeat in two weeks.
Thats what I do, and it has worked for me. But I don't think I'll be adding any more WC to my collection (got enough now, need to sell some!). Anyway~ when I did a lot of WC at a time thats what I did. I just used a new feeding tube for each animal and I did not have to sanitize the oral syringes between each snake because it never actually touched the snake, just the sanitized end of a clean feeding tube.
