22.2% Panacur granules

[Herpard]

Hi all,

My mum bought me 22.2% Panacur granules for Cats,Dogs,kittens & puppies to worm the tortoises.

How much do i give each Tortoise?

Pandora is 552g

Ishi 826g

Squirt 2035g (Could be a less as she hasn't pooped)

[Box girl]

If you look on the packet it will give you the dosage by weight.

[Kirkie]

This may help but it only gives doses for 2.5 and 10% Panacur.

Yours is over double the concentration of the 10% so you have to at least halve the dose.

Just noticed this is for liquid panacur by ml not crystals by Mg. If it was me, I'd get hold of some 2.5 and 10 rather than trying to guess it. I've seen 50mg per kilo of body weight quoted for the 10% panacur.

here's the information sheet http://www.noahcompendium.co.uk/Inte...nts/S3635.html it depends whether adult dog or puppies too. adults single dose, puppies 3 consecutive days lesser amount. i am too thick to work it all out

[Herpard]

Thanks.

On the leaflet it says....

5-10kg (ll-22lbs) one 4.5 gram sachet.

My mum said the pet shop only sells the 22.2% Granules.

I'm useless at math so wouldn't have a clue on how much to give.

[Alan1]

that would be way too much I think

Dosage and administration

Routine treatment of adult dogs and cats

Administer 100mg fenbenbazole per 1 kg (2.2 lbs) bodyweight as a single dose.

Practical dosage recommendations:

1 g sachet /dose
Treats 2kg (4.4lb) bodyweight as a single dose (1.1 – 2.2kg)
1.8 g sachet / dose
Treats 4kg (8.8lb) bodyweight as a single dose (2.2 – 4.4kg)

4.5 g sachet /dose
Treats 10kg (22lb) bodyweight as a single dose (5 – 10kg)



For dogs weighing over 10 kg (22 lbs), additional sachets are required according to the additional bodyweight.

Assess bodyweight as accurately as possible and then administer one or a combination of the above sachets, which most closely doses this bodyweight. The dose should be administered by mixing into the feed.

e.g.
For a 9kg dog = 2kg dose (1g sachet) + 4kg dose (1.8g sachet) + 4kg dose (1.8g sachet).

i.e.
one × 1gram sachet + two × 1.8gm sachets (10kg dose)

or
one × 4.5gram sachet (10kg dose)



Treatment should be repeated when natural re-infection with parasitic worms occurs. Routine treatment of adult animals with minimal exposure to infection is advisable 2 to 4 times per year. More frequent treatment, at 6 to 8 weekly intervals is advisable for dogs in kennels.

Weaned puppies and kittens under six months of age

Administer 50mg fenbendazole per 1 kg (2.2 lbs) bodyweight daily for 3 consecutive days.

Practical dosage recommendations:

1 g sachet /dose
Treats 4kg (8.8lb) bodyweight (minimum weight 2.2kg) dosed daily for three consecutive days (2.2 – 4.4kg)

1.8 g sachet / dose
Treats 8kg (17.6lb) bodyweight dosed daily for three consecutive days (4.5– 8kg)

4.5 g sachet /dose
Treats 20kg (44lb) bodyweight dosed daily for three consecutive days (10– 20kg)



For dogs/puppies weighing over 20 kg (44 lbs), additional sachets are required according to the additional bodyweight.

Assess bodyweight as accurately as possible and then administer one or a combination of the above sachets, which most closely doses this bodyweight. The dose should be administered by mixing into the feed.

N.B. Smaller or unweaned puppies and kittens should be treated with Panacur 2.5% or 10% Liquid or Panacur Paste.

e.g.
For a 9kg dog = 4kg dose (1g sachet) + 8kg dose (1.8g sachet) daily for 3 consecutive days.

i.e.
one × 1gram sachet + one × 1.8gm sachets. (12kg) dose daily for 3 days

or
three × 1gram sachet (12kg dose) daily for 3 days



Puppies should be treated at 2 weeks of age, 5 weeks of age and again before leaving the breeder's premises. Treatment may also be required at 8 and 12 weeks of age. Thereafter, frequency of treatment can be reduced unless the pups remain in kennels where reinfestation occurs more readily.

Pregnant dogs

Administer 25mg fenbendazole per 1kg (2.2lbs) bodyweight daily from day 40 of pregnancy continuously to 2 days post-whelping (approximately 25 days).

Practical dosage recommendations:

1 g sachet /dose
Treats 8kg (17.6lb) bodyweight dosed daily for approx. 25 days

1.8 g sachet / dose
Treats 16kg (35.2lb) bodyweight dosed daily for approx. 25 days

4.5 g sachet /dose
Treats 40kg (88lb) bodyweight dosed daily for approx. 25 days



For bitches weighing over 40 kg, additional sachets are required according to the additional bodyweight.

As this treatment of pregnant dogs is 98% effective, puppies from these dogs should themselves be treated with a 3 day course at 2 and 5 weeks of age with Panacur 2.5% or 10% Liquid or Panacur Paste. Treat the bitch at the same time at the routine adult dose rate (i.e. 100mg/kg as a single dose).

Pregnant cats

Pregnancats can be safely treated with Panacur Granules but only require a single treatment at the routine adult dose rate, as there is no pre-natal transfer of worm larvae in the cat. Administer 100mg fenbendazole per 1kg (2.2lb) bodyweight as a single dose.

Increased dosing for specific infections

For the treatment of clinical worm infestations in adult dogs and cats or Giardia spp. infections in dogs, administer 50mg fenbendazole per 1kg (2.2lbs) bodyweight daily for 3 consecutive days.

For control of lungworm Oslerus (Filaroides) osleri in dogs administer 50mg fenbendazole per 1kg (2.2lbs) bodyweight, daily for 7 consecutive days. A repeated course of treatment may be required in some cases.

For the control of lungworm Aelurostrongylus abstrusus in cats administer 50mg fenbendazole per 1kg (2.2lbs) bodyweight daily for 3 consecutive days.

only 1g treats 2kg of animal which is the size of your big one

[Herpard]

Thanks alan.

I'll try and worm Squirt with 1g then.....It's her that needs worming.

Will have to get the paste online for the other 2

[Alan1]

I think a quarter of a gram would treat your smallest one and about three quarters of a gram would treat your middle sized one. if you put it on a bit of cucumber and hand feed it until it's all gone you will be sure it's eaten it. it has no smell and no taste so they have no problem with it unlike the paste
