I am having my step daughters tortoises off her, as she can't afford to keep them , but, they come with a diagnosed pinworm problem ... She says a vet needs to treat them ... Can't you buy treatment and do it yourself ?? ( I am used to cats and dogs) ... New to tortoises .. Still babies 1 year old | |

Hello, This can be treated with "Panacur" Equine Paste 18.75% susp.. The dose rate is critical. I suggest that you ask a vet to treat them & ask if you can buy a tube for future treatment by yourself. NOTE - first have their faeces checked. As they have been treated, they may well be 'clear.' Repeat faecal checks in the Spring. Regards, Tom | |
