| Abstract |
|
To sufficiently penetrate the thick horny outer layer of the reptilian epidermis, emodepside-praziquantel must be administered in higher doses than those used for cats.Doses 15, 30, and even 50 times higher than feline dosages have been administered without adverse effects, but reptile guidelines recommend administering 2 drops/100 g (0.56 mL/kg) body weight.12 Because this may be insufficient to achieve therapeutic levels in reptiles— particularly those with thicker integument, I recommend increasing the dose to 4 drops/100 g (1 mL/kg) body weight. Apply the medication where the epidermis is relatively thin, such as the gular region in snakes, under armpits or skinfolds of the groin area in lizards, or in the prefemoral area or gural fossa in turtles.12 Aquatic species must be kept in a dry place for 48 hours following topical application.
