White stuff around my tarantulas mouth

In that case, do you know where I can get a parachute? I've never even been in an airplane, but by youe logic, you never know

That’s just dumb... if you never fly then one wouldn’t need a parachute in the first place.
I have animals that I care about, and have the necessary ingredients to attempt to help it in a JUST INCASE SCENARIO, better to try, than to let it suffer.

Well that went right over your head.

My point was - You got an "ingredient" that has absolutely NOTHING to do with the "just in case" scenario you are claiming to be prepared for... i.e. having an antibiotic to treat a parasitic infection is as useful as a parachute to someone who doesn't fly.

No definitely not and apparently mine went over yours... if you go camping better bring everything you will need... then bring a few extra things cause you never know. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it... how do you know that using these two meds will not work? Have you tried it out?
What is your plan if one of your T’s gets infected? Unlikely but what if, Sh&t happens all the time mostly unexpected. Like I said
If one of mine were to get them, I will treat it.
If it doesn’t help well at least I tried. Better to die quick than begging on your knees right?

Nematodes are not killed by antibiotics. Antibiotics kill bacteria, and as nematodes are multicelled worms it would be more effective to use a wormicide. I understand where you are coming from though, and I apologize if I offended.

Alone no, but mixed with Pyrantel which I also bought today, could possibly help the T... which is i posted what the guy from Russia had success with which is why I will try too. @The Grym Reaper
Says he’s no longer part of this site and no one else used that information I guess...

 

[The Seraph]

Ah, I was not informed that pyrantel was a wormicide. But, then why not use just that? Does the antibiotic nullify some harming effect on tarantulas caused by the wormicide?

were having an adult conversation on a forum about do’s and don’ts with Tarantulas.. it’s gonna take a lot to offend me

The guy was saying you have to mix both
I didn’t read everything as of yet
But said to mix 10ml of water injecting solution water with the powder and use the pyrantel im guessing it’s too strong by itself... I will read further

 

[The Seraph]

I see, the thought of a tarantula ODing on a drug is an . . . unpleasant thought. However, it seems much easier, and much less expensive, to just use smaller concentrations of Pyrantrel. The smaller the solute the more diminished the effect. Or you could increase the amount of water, if you still wish to be within standard world measurments rather then say, half a half-thimble.

Alright yea he was saying mix
1g of Cefotaxime and 10ml of water clean the area where they’re located around the chelicerae and mouth, then with q tips use solution But don’t get it in the mouth
Then use the pyrantel with q tip on fangs around chelicerae and mouth and repeat after 3-5 days...

 

[The Seraph]

I was under the impression he was taking a water/cefotaxime/pyramidal solution and dabbing it onto the fangs with a q-tip. Ah, I think now I know why you use the antibiotic. Perhaps to prevent and cleanse bacteria from the area, which would be less caustic and dangerous then say alcohol.

Yes

I suppose it makes sense now. I do hope the OP will be benefited i the unlikely scenario his darling has nematodes. I wonder how this thread was so heavily derailed from its source. Oh well.

But alas! In this modern age people seem to take offense at the most inane of things, and I pride myself on being as inoffensive as humanly possible. So why not apologise and be polite, when it seems like so few people take the time to.

Exactly, I have no idea how people can get so upset, here too when we all share the same love in the animals we’re keeping

Even before the kingship was in Eridug there has always been a rift in the hearts of all men. Even still, it costs nothing to be polite. Now, I will cease to talk as this thread has gotten way off track. Apologies for that. Good luck OP!

I completely missed any previous mention of using Pyrantel in addition to the antibiotic. Pyrantel is used to treat nematode (roundworm) infections in mammals (like horses and dogs)... so that makes WAY more sense to use. Antibiotics, which is all I saw you mention, won't kill parasites... as I said several times already.

I believe in being prepared... my issue is not with that. It was/is with you having a medication on hand that doesn't treat the issue lol

Its to disinfect the area because would you use alcohol? He used both and it worked so I bought both... I posted his post on the first page to the OP
Also yes I do I have both drugs the Russian guy said to use
Cefotaxime and Pyrantel

We are just going in circles. Clearly you're going to continue thinking an antibiotic can do things that it really can't. So, best of luck.

Yep but like I said better to try than nothing at all... you as well
