Paul, If I remember right a vet on the list suggested another med, correct? Even considering this, any treatment is rough on them and they may not survive even with the best meds after they have been compromised a certain amount. This is why many of us only treat for parasites only if we see a health issue in WC. This is not your case as you have CBs, however, I feel it is an important point to bring up. I am sorry you have to go through this. Did you consult with another non domestic vet? For now I would stick with the regimen your vet recommends and keep working with this vet unless you have decided to go with another.

In choosing a non domestic vet ask them how much experience they have treating your herp- in this case geckos. What you don't want to do is give up on a vet prematurely and jump from vet to vet because treatments aren't going well. Folks who do that end up not solving anything. Keep good communication and make sure they address all your concerns during the whole process. I know this is not easy when things aren't going well with a new vet. For those of you out there with healthy gex choose a non domestic vet now and get acquainted before you have to do it in a rush with a sick herp.

Well All,

Learn from a mistake I and my vet have made. I should not have administered the Ivermectin, all 3 of my leos are a little off but The albino jungle I have doesnt look shes going to make it much longer, shes lathargic and wont eat. Now if it was the ivermectin or the change of scenery (installation paper towels and removal of items that are hard to sterilize) or a combination of both.

I'll keep you posted but for all you in baltimore Do Not goto the Howard County Animal Hospital, as I will not return there myself.
