Hi Mandy
Granules is something i haven't tried but Dazza has used paste he will possible help you with how he administered this which i'm sure is a lot easier than the tubeing method . Darren

The paste once measured is just put onto a piece of their favorite foods. But you always get one
that wont eat it<g>..

Hi linz i'm sure a veterinary practice must hold it as pastes i believe are generally used for horses

I looked at the site and you can get panacur liquid for dogs and puppies do you suppose that would be ok and how would you work out the dosage I have only ever used granules and paste for the horses but I think you can no longer but wormers from saddlers and it has to come from a vet. Liquid would be a lot easier to give.
