    Default HELP!!! Appetite loss after Levamisole

    I had a group of wild altums for a month which had been eating well.
    Over the weekend, I administered Levamisole to deworm, and they ate less aggressively. Some even spit out live worms.
    I did see white worms being expelled and I have siphoned them.
    Is it common for appetite loss to occur during Levamisole administration? I had used in wild discus and non altum wild angels before, and never experienced this.

    My memory is suspect at times and it's been a couple years since I last used Levamisole, but I seem to remember it did cause a very noticeable lack of appetite. Seems to me within a week appetite returned to normal so I think what you're seeing is perfectly normal.

    Your Memory is spot on this time Keith. Appetite loss is common and should return in a few days.
