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.

Panacur help.
Well i have a leopard gecko. ( No Der ) and she has had a runny poo and a long smelly one. I'm rather disturbed seeing that she has never been sick for me but i'm suspecting the superworms i bought. I thought they seemed strange to me but please don't flame i'm only 14 i didn't have enough common sence. Well people on here are telling me to try panacur and gave me a general idea how much to give my leopard gecko but now i need to know how many times and what how frequent to give her the medication. I'm planning on getting her a boyfriend soon so thanks. ( I know to keep them seprate for a while and all that jazz ) Thanks!

Tim, if you are concerned about your gecko, you should take her to a vet for a fecal test. Trying to self-diagnose a problem and self-prescribe medication is not a good idea. If you suspect parasites, only a test can confirm that there is indeed an infection, what type of infection it is, and the proper medication to treat it. Different infections require specific medications and even more, specific dosages.

You might want to get a fecal done. In my state around me here its cheap so long as they don't have to see the animal. I personally don't understand how feeding a Super Worm equals medicating a Gecko. What if that pooh was temporary? How many bad poohs has she had?

Well anybody have any sites. I found vet connection or whatever and the closest vet is a hour and a half drive away so my dad dosn't want me to go all that way. If she is sick what will they do? Do i have to bring her in or will they give me the meds? Will i have to go back two or three more times for her to get checked? Thanks!

Has she had anymore runny poops? Also, have you fed her the superworms before? I actually had a few leopards that had runny stools the first few times they were eating the mealworms. I always thought that it was just their bodies adjusting to the new food items.
They had the poops for a few days, then everything was fine after that.

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.
