According to Andy Highfield Panacur paste for horses contains 3.5g fenbendazole in 20 g of paste, i.e. approx 19% concentration, or 187 mg per g. For practical purposes, a concentration of 20 % can be assumed. This make calculating the volume of paste for dosing straightforward:
For a 2kgtortoise: 2 x 100 mg = 200 mg = 1 g of paste total over 5 days.
For a 1.5 kg Tortoise: 1.5 x 100mg = 150mg = 750 mg of paste total over 5 days.
NB : 1 g of paste is approx equal to 1\4 teaspoon measure.
Hope this helps!
