Hi folks, the other day I noticed what I believe to be pinworms in my russian's poop so I scheduled a fecal exam, and a general check-up with the vet. Earlier today we brought him in and though we don't have the results of the fecal yet, she sent us home with three syringes of Panacur.
Leroy (my Russian) weighs 1.2lbs and the dosage and dosing instructions given to us is as follows:
Panacur (Fenbendazole) 100mg/mL
Give 0.25cc (one syringe) orally once daily for three days. Wait ten days and repeat if indicated.
After reading old posts regarding the matter I discovered that many people recommend only one dosage, then another 10 days later to kill any eggs that have hatched. I know that Panacur is a poison, and I'd hate to give Leroy anything that may harm him so I thought I'd check and see if anyone has any opinions regarding Leroy's prescribed dosage and dosing instructions. Thank you in advance for any and all replies.
