AboutTracie Kretzschmar Expertise I can answer questions pertaining to health, UVB specifics, overall husbandry care & supplementation, analysis of blood test results, and behavioral problems & handling. I can answer questions pertaining to bearded dragons, leopard geckos, iguanas, uromastyx & ball pythons.
I can answer adeno virus related questions in bearded dragons, & then specifically about the testing methods as well. I am beginning an Pogona Adeno Testing Society in 2008 which will help to begin to start some standardization within the bearded dragon colonies of the breeders who choose to test.
Experience I have been working with bearded dragons for over 5 years now, as well as leopard geckos, too. I am currently doing rescues, as well. I hope to be able to educate people prior to them purchasing an exotic pet in order to avoid any health crisis with them.
Education/Credentials I have a master's degree in sports medicine & physiology, & 1 year of vet tech schooling, & am currently working on a reptile certification through the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council.
Question Tracy,
I was reading your conversation with Gwen, and it seems that I have a similar problem. I have two Skinny geckos that dont seem to be able to gain weight. Anyway my question is what guide to you use to figure out the dosage of panacure to give them? I actually work at a vet clinic (no one there does reptiles) so i wont have a problem getting the stuff, I am just unsure how much to give them. Thanks.
Answer Hello Jocie,
Ok. Well, first thing I need is their individual weight in grams, & I will dose them for you.
Do you know what percentage the Panacur is 10% perhaps? That is usually the most common percentage used.
Are they either one eating?
