Agree with this, any dosages you are advised on here is just that a guess. Vet for proper dosage |

I found this on a website for bearded dragons, it is 3 years old so definitely advise checking with a vet.
Panacur Quick Reference Dose Chart
Panacur is packaged for use in horses. Herpetologists and reptile enthusiasts have been using this product for years with great success. Vets recommend a dose of 50-100 mg/kg once every two weeks for reptiles until a negative fecal is obtained. Usually takes 2-3 doses.
Side effects from Panacur are low and almost unheard of.
Panacur treats: pinworms, hookworms, hepatic worms, roundworms, strongyles, and pentastmoids.
To calculate dosage: Get weight of reptile (in grams). Multiply weight (in grams) by .0005 (for 50mg/kg dosage) or multiply by .001 (for 100 mg/kg dosage). Or you can use our handy chart below. Just get the weight of your reptile in grams, and use the chart to determine the dosage.

Id actually heard of the 50mg/kg
and ive heard that its worth doing both my snakes seen as they eat mice from the same pet shop.
Thanks for the advice, and I understand why you think i should go to a vet, but ive read up loads about it and its not really possible to OD them, so as long as I stick to a small amount should be okay.
cheers people, ill let you all know how it goes x |

Ok,
The dosage is 50-100mg per kg depending on infestation of worms.
50mg per kg would be a routine wormer whereas 100mg per kg would be for a heavily infected animal.
This should be delivered orally 3 times: the initial dose, at 2 weeks and then at 4 weeks.
Panacur usually comes in a 10% solution so the dosage required would need to be divided by 100.
Good luck with your worming :) |

Thanks very much.
Tried him on a mouse with 0.2ml of the substance in its stomach. Didnt have a syringe though so just had to cut it open.
He doesnt seem interested in it though, even though his appetite has been fine recently, so i dont think he likes the smell of it.
Will have to get a syringe and inject it properly into the mouse in a couple of days. |
