I know, I know, I should take a Beardy to a vet if I see there's something wrong with it. But my nearest reptile vet is like 2 hours away by car and I have no car. So I decided to get reptaid after hearing some good things about it. My Beardy got a respiratory infection after he got a bath and I accidentally put water in his face. Poor little guy (not really little... He's 13 inches long and 7 months old xD) got water on his face and he must have breathe the water in. So I figured I would give the reptaid to my Beardy and if I saw no results I would suck it up and go to the vet. I was giving this product to my Beardy 2 times a day for 2 weeks. I noticed my bearded dragon breathing normal on the 4th day of treatment. So I kept giving him the reptaid. After a week his symptoms were all gone and he was back to normal and eating and breathing was normal too. What might have helped too was that I kept the night Heat bulb on over night and kept the tank clean with no water in it (not supposed to keep water in the tank anyways cause of humidity). Not sure if respiratory infections clear up with bearded dragons over time or it was the Reptaid ( I'm sure it played a huge part). But I'm just glad my Beardy is healthy and isn't weezing and having labored breathing anymore. (included a pic of my baby nice and healthy again just chilling with me)

Bought a baby bearded dragon (? 9 weeks old). He started tanking fast, despite great set-up with UVB, heat, etc.; it was over a holiday weekend, and he appeared almost dead when this bottle arrived on our doorstep. The vet appointment was still days away. Considered an emergency vet, but after giving him a couple of drops of this, he started perking up. His appetite partially returned (vet said he was ok, but gave us rescue food, which he hasn't needed...as long as we keep giving him these drops...he's fine.) I've read several reviews of how effective this stuff was- it's now pretty much part of his daily routine. We have seen his appetite steadily increase, his color come back and his energy increase. When we stop the drops, the lethargy returns....although not as much now as before. We will eventually ween him off of them, but they are nursing him through whatever is ailing him. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
UPDATE: We rarely use this- only when he seems to have decreased appetite, or any gunk on his mouth- this CLEARS IT RIGHT UP! He's been doing wonderfully- I rely on this stuff- it does seem to increase his immune system. Now we only have to use it occasionally for a pick-me-up.
Bearded dragon started having bouts of diarrhea and lost her appetite (her appetite wasn’t very good to begin with). She was diagnosed with pinworms. On day one I used panacur and 2 doses of reptaid (one in the morning and one in the evening). For the next ten days to follow I supplemented with benebac and 2 doses of reptaid for 10 days. By the second week and following her second dose of panacur - along with reptaid two days later after her first doses of 10 days (one dose per day for three days), she’s completely cured of her lethargy + diarrhea. Not only that, but she’s also got her appetite back, and eats far more now than she used to prior to being sick. I’m quite grateful for this product and would highly recommend.

TURTLE KEEPERS, please look here, I want to share true story to save more turtles in illness. Below is my true story and I am leaving my emails below, question me if needed.
In October I left USA for 3 weeks, and when I am back temperature plummeted, 3 of my turtles are sick. 2 Yellow mud turtles were have severe intestinal problems their poops are liquid and sticky. 1 Red ear slider baby had severe swollen eyes. I found this herbal online and bought to bet if it could work it says which will save me hundreds of dollars visiting vet. My yellow mud turtles recovered within 7 days, and my red ear slider just open its clear eyes again(see more details below)
Below is my comments and methods:
1) Once you purchase, please go to drug store and buy needles, this does not come with needle! I was pissed off when opened it. Then I went to Walgreen and bought a packet of 1ML injector with needles, just 4 bucks.
2) FOR TURTLES, Here is the way I did, (1) first keep turtle in water temperature 82 degree. Once they start having appetite, they will be saved. (2) You cannot force turtles to open its mouth. The best way to have them eat the herbal is inject the herbal into feeder fish's body. Go to Petco buy dozens of feeder fish that will cost you less than 5$, get home and freeze them. once they are dead, put them it a board and let them frozen, become solid. (3) Every time when you need, you will just need take out the number you want of solid frozen fish. Put fish in water to melt the ice completely, then use tissue to dry it. Then inject the dose of herbal into fish's body by inserting needle into its mouth. Then turtle will swallow the whole fish.
Key points: The suggested dose may not work for TURTLE'S EYE PROBLEM. 1) Yellow mud turtle around 70g, I gave them 0.06ml daily, their intestinal problem went away within 7 days, that's good! 2) 14g Red ear slider baby has swollen eyes for over 1 month, I tried long time use very tiny dose, that does not work... after trying other eye drops which does not work either, I decide to increase the dose. I give it 0.03 ml per day since December. Amazingly, I saw it's working quickly. So to summarize, we need higher dose of this herbal to heal swollen eyes.
If you have question you can email me, I hope to give you suggestion saving your turtle: bochenpoker@gmail.com

I honestly couldn't rate this product any higher, whether your reptile is in good health or in need of a nudge this is very handy to have in case of an emergency.. it should be called miracle aid. :)
Great stuff! My little beardie wasn't ill but he did have a nasty case of pinworms . two ten day treatments (two day break in between) and the count went down significantly! His poops were much more well formed and digestive issues solved. I recommend this as a maintenance method as well (give for two days at the beginning of each month). Will definitely increase appetite. Only reason I gave 4 starts was because It said you would get a needle to inject the feeders with the reptaid but I did not recieve one. Only a regular syringe which wasn't bad because I had no issues administering it orally. However , if you have a reptile that refuses it orally and locks their jaw I would look I to getting a needle from a drug store. Other than that I'm completely satisfied!

We bought the wrong dose for our lizard as he weight more then the dose needed so we have to double up. Not %100 sure if the product is working as he is only been on it for about a month now.
Nothin' fantastic. Used it on my gecko, and while it did increase his appetite, it didn't improve him. My gecko was not sick but off his feed, so this did help. However, do not expect it be a cure all to pinworms and other nasties. In the end it is always best to take your pet to the vet.
