Worming advice
Posted: 27 Mar 2021, 12:06
So as Jemima had been a little off it i decided to do a worm count. Jemimas always been very idol, her prior owner did tell me this. It showed 120 epg of pinworm. So i rung my exotic vet and he wanted to see her. As i told him occasionally her 3rd eyelid is noticeable and her faeces really smelt the last few days he wormed her straight into her stomach 25th March, and she's back on May 7th for another treatment.

So she's currently on paper and not enjoying it!! I bath her daily and I'm really having to encourage her to eat but atm she has done so.
I'm just looking for advice as to how i can help her at the minute. After i bathe her for 20 mins and offer her food I'm putting her back in her table and just letting her be as not to upset her. Is there anything more i should be doing....bathing/soaking wise.
Also Jemimas exclusively fed on fresh foraged weeds and flowers and i thought i was very thorough washing them. Is there another method you could recommend?? The vet did tell me to add a minuscule amount of bleach when soaking my weeds, but i really don't feel safe doing this.
Also...we've got x2 days of really warm weather approaching. Jemimas new enclosure isn't ready yet, would you advise me letting her have some sunshine out on the grass in her temporary pen OR her indoor pen with a floor on it?? Or not at all as she's not well??
Thankyou and I'm sorry about all the questions,
