Hey everyone, I am new to the forum. I have a question about my male russian tortoise I bought from Petsmart. So I bought him in November, and when I got home and he first pooped I noticed he had tons of pinworms. I didnt want to return him because I wanted to save him and i liked him. I went to the vet and they recomended panacur 10% paste form for horses, giving him a dosage of .5 mL daily for three to five days, then again two weeks later.
So this worked initially, I saw dead worms and it seemed to have ridded him of them. Then a few weeks after the last dose I notice the pinworms in his poop again. I repeated the doses the vet told me and they just are not disapearing. Can the pinworms grow resistant to panacur? please help, i want him rid of the worms but the panacur just wont kill all of them. Is there a problem with the dosage or something? He weighs four hundred grams.
