How to dose Panacur C for my 6.5 lb kitten with 10 lb packets?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Male | neutered | 7 months and 20 days old | 6.5 lbs

I have the Panacur C granules. There are three 1 gram packets. Each packet treats 10 lbs. I have a 7 month old rescue kitten who’s about 6.5 lbs. Do I give the entire packet of granules per daily dose (three days in a row)? Please help. Thank you.

If each packet treats a ten pound animal and yours is 6.5 lbs, you only need to use 65% of the packet. This will be difficult to do accurately by eye, so the best way to to do it would be to dilute the Panacur in water, which will allow you to better volumetrically dose out the medication. If you dilute the granules down to 10mL, you would give 6.5 mL for three consecutive days. Hope this makes sense.
