I picked this up on another forum. Don't know how many of you are aware of it so I thought I'd post it.

Hey man there are plenty of people that dont know about it.

That was interesting to read. And as someone still learning about the hobby I found it very educational. Thanks for sharing the information.

That article has been around for a little while, definitely great information to have posted up though.

scroll down to "Entamoeba Fix"

This product is the Crested Gecko Diet with Metronidazole added in a ratio developed and used successfully by Allen Repashy to treat infections of Entamoeba invadens in Rhacodactylus geckos. It is designed to be fed in place of the regular diet for treatment period only. It can be used to treat symptoms, and is recommended as an annual prophylactic treatment used at the beginning of the breeding season to prevent outbreaks that are common to occur in the Spring. This inclusion ratio has been carefully calculated and used successefully for six years, but you must use it at your own risk, and should consult a Veterinarian before using this product . A 4ml serving (1/8 oz.) mixed with water according to the directions,for a 40 gram gecko provides 100 mg/kg dosage. Syringe hand feeding can be done at .1cc per gram of gecko weight.

Very good info. I heard it being talked about at a show last month

Thanks for the info.
