Can a Sucata Tortoise be given an anti parasite?

by Val

We are very good about picking up the poop of our tortoise but his space is large and our two puppies found it and like puppies will do they played with it and chewed it. Just a few days later they had diarrhea and after starting them on Panacur they were back to normal. I know it was from the tortoise poop. I thought worming the tortoise could be my answer...or not? Any thoughts on this? Thank you!

Yes you should de-worm your Tortoise's and keep them in a separate shelter area from your dogs, contact your vet on what to use.
