Default Live pin worms in poo

I have just had results back that two of the famous 5 have pinworms,a low amount but I suppose this will not help with growth and eating etc,do I take her straight to the vets or use the panacur myself? My vet has wormed my sulcatas but he had to get two other vets to hold them and one sully nearly broke the vets finger and took 40 mins so if I do it myself is the panacur strong enough to treat pinworms???Also I must empty the enclosure and put newspaper down,is this correct? Thank you

I have tried worming my own, and actually ended up spending more buying it online than paying around £6 at the vet, but I guess the cost depends on the size

i have just given mine the second dose,panacur paste rabbit,no struggling with tubes ,syringes etc. just put it on something they can't resist.
cost less than £4 to do 5 torts, 2 doses ,and still plenty left.
these are average sized med.torts,not giants!
