Is it the paste or liquid? I found using the paste or the granules better as the torts can't detect it so the granules can be sprinkled on their food and the paste can go between cucumber or strawberry.

I find the granules more difficult to work out the dosage though x

It's the paste but don't no how much to give( I've always gone to vet for meds)I'm really concerned about giving an over dose, do I use the weight ratio (for dogs) on the packet ? Or is it different? And if so do you no what it is?
Thank you

I used the weight ratio for the kitten when I used the paste. I was told on here that panacur is quite safe and it is hard to overdose on it xx

I've been really good today

I haven't got the dosage to hand but was it about 1 graduation per 1kg of animal? x
