AnyOne ever used ParaZap before? & FatTail Question

[DirtyDuck]

Purchased a male fatatail gecko from petco about 3weeks ago and it looked nice and healthy and had a Plump tail. The employee told me that they have had the Fattails for a long time. I set him up in his new home waited a day to feed him and he didn't eat. I gave him Mealies,Wax Worms & Crix. this went on for about a week then I bought some reptile appetite stimulant and he ate a few crix the other day, but he had very little poop and It was green & kind of smooshy. I can't really get a good stool sample to take to a vet so I Bought some ParaZap I sprinkled some over some crix, but the ParaZap has no instructions so I don't know how long to give it to him? A guy at the local petstore told me that FatTails are notorious for going on hunger strikes when they move to a new home, is this true? It looks like his Tail has lost a little weight to.

Hi we have been using it for a year and a half now please send us a PM as a reminder and I will look up the doses for you.

"Directions of use: There are 2 metohds for use. Choose the one suitable for you and your reptile. Customize dosage to meet your specific needs.

As a parasite preventive: Dust live prey or vegetables with Para-ZAP for 5 consecutive days each month.

If parasites are currently present: Make a tea using 2/3 cup of water and 1/4 tsp of parazap. Bring to a boil, then allow to cool. Draw the liquid into syringe or dropper. Feed your reptile all it will drink. Give the tea once daily for 5 to 10 days. (Discard unused to after 12 hours.) To encourage reptile to drink the thea, remove other forms of hydration.

Caution: Keep Para-ZAP out of reach of children. Not for human consumption. Store in cool, dry place"

Thats what it says on my package of Para-ZAP. I dont know anything on fat-tails, so i cant help you there.
Hope it helps.

ive tried para zap on a lot of different Reptiles not sure if it works as well as pana cure but it seems to less stressfull on the animal

[DirtyDuck]

I've heard of Pana cure, where do you buy it? or can you only get it from a vet?

[DirtyDuck]

The Only Panacur I can find is for Horses? can't be the same stuff for leo's & FatTails?

There are always a lot of things kicking around. Honestly I would like to find out more about reptile meds. The Para zap has worked pretty good for us and it is easy to give to snakes unlike a lot of other meds. Panacur if not used properly can cause more harm then it helps so be careful! BT
