Can I use horse Panacur for my dog? What does it treat and dose?

Panacur (fenbendazole) is probably one of the best broad spectrum dewormers. It treats hookworms, whipworms, roundworms and some tapeworms. It is also used to treat Giardia and lungworms. You will need to contact your veterinarian for a dose based on your dog's body weight. Legally, we are prohibited from recommending doses for medications in the absence of a physical exam and a VPCR (veterinarian-patient-client relationship).

I recommend to call your vet. Most vets are happy to discuss the logic behind treatments. Panacur is used to get rid of certain worms and protozoal parasites like gairdia at certain doses. It is beneficial however to know if parasites are present because some of them can spread to humans or remain o source of infection in the yard. Your vet will likely not have an objection to testing Clif for worms or giardia. You will need to test him however before giving the medication. I hope this helps to guide you and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Piperazine only works for roundworms. Panacur treats roundworms, hookworms, whipworms, and tapeworms. We prefer to treat all the worms as dogs can often have low levels of other types of worms that may not show up in the fecal exam. You can try mixing the granules in yogurt or even a few table spoons of vanilla (not chocolate!) ice cream to hide the flavor.

You are under dosing Pumpkin if you are giving only 0.5 ml (cc) per day. Legally, we cannot provide dosing without a physical exam and a VPCR (veterinarian-patient-client relationship). Contact your veterinarian for an appropriate dose for a 14lb (6.3kg) dog. Panacur is typically given for 3 days, then repeated in two weeks. You can then consider a monthly preventative, such as HeartGard, Interceptor or Sentinel, that will protect against intestinal parasites and heartworm.

Safeguard is Fenbendazole, as is Panacur. So you can use it and it will be just as effective if you make sure to give it according to the exact weight of your dog. You need to give it according to the instructions on the box. If you suspect your dogs have a lot of worms, you should worm them twice (the prescribed course) at a 2 week interval.

Hello, thank you for using PetCoach. Panacur granules are not labeled for use in cats in the United States. It would be impossible to get a small enough dose measured out for a 1.5 pound kitten, therefore, it is not recommended. You can, however, use the Panacur liquid but that needs to be given once a day for 3-5 days in a row and is rather expensive. It can be purchased over the counter. Follow the dosing recommendations on the bottle. ( https://www.bestvetcare.com/panacur-oral-suspension-for-cats-and-dogs-pack-316.aspx ) It is better, and recommended, to give liquid PYRANTEL to kittens. You can also buy this over the counter. Follow dosing and frequency recommendations on the packaging but in general, the dose is 1.0mls per 10 pounds of body weight. You need to get a 1cc syringe and give 0.15mls right now as she is 1.5 pounds. You will need to increase the dosage each time as her weight will be increasing.

If you are seeing worms that look like rice, those are tapeworm segments. Panacur can kill some types of tapeworm, but the best drug for it is praziquantel. That is a prescription only drug, and a great brand that contains praziquantel is Drontal. You can try the Panacur, but you may have to go back to your vet to get Drontal. As long as you practice good hygiene (wash your hands after petting him, wash your hands after cleaning his litter box), you should be fine. I hope this helps!
