    Re: Deworming.

    Fecal float(stool sample) to determine if parasites are present. If confirmed than the snake must be weighed for accurate dosing.
    I think that some Vets. use different medicines.
    Mine uses oral Panacur. A second treatment is usually given 2 weeks later.
    This has been my experience.

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Kleo and pill. Right... I guess my cat would swallow some kind of pill faster than Kleo. And believe me when I'm saying this - cats are masters when it comes to spit any pills.

    Oral suspension liquid is much easier to deal with.
    Most Vets. will give you a syringe to use. Use the blunt tip of the syringe to get the snakes mouth open.
    Push the syringe down past the back jaw and into the throat. Then you simply inject the med. and your done.
    I've never had a snake throw it back up.

    Re: Deworming.

    Would it be easy to hurt the snake doing that?
